The US Virgin Islands Country Flag is represented by an yellow eagle holding an olive branch in one talon and three sky blue arrows in the other. A shield with a navy blue top and red and white vertical stripes lays in front of the eagle and the sky blue letters V and I stand on either side. The V and I stand for Virgin Islands and the three arrows represent the three islands that make up the country, St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix. The colors are representative of the island characteristics, including yellow depicting the flowering plants there, blue representing the sky and water, green the vegetation, white the clouds and red denoting the concept of love. The flag was adopted in 1921.
The U.S Virgin Islands is a territory of the United States.
