Illinois Flag
Here is the flag of Illinois:
(Click here for: More Pictures)
The flag of Illinois shows the Great
Seal of Illinois on a white field. In the eagle's beak is the
state's motto "State Sovereignty, National Union". Beneath
the seal is the word "Illinois".
The flag is based on a
1912
design by Lucy Derwent, who created it for a contest held by the Daughters of
the American Revolution. The flag became the official state flag on
July 6th
1915.
The word "Illinois" was added on
September 17th
1969, after
Bruce McDaniel petitioned to have it added because he had noted that many people
with whom he had served in
Vietnam did not recognize the flag.
