Georgia State Flag

The currently used Georgia State Flag was adopted on 8th May, 2003, while there had been several other flags fluttering in the states of Florida since time immemorial. The current version of the Georgia State Flag bases itself on the 1st national Confederacy flag, with stars and bars. The description of Georgia State Flag is as follows. It is adorned with 2 horizontal red stripes of the same width, separated by a white stripe. In the top left corner there is blue square bearing the golden Georgia coat of arms. This seal on the Georgia State Flag has 3 pillars that support an arch. They stand for the 3 wings of the government, which are the executive, legislative and judiciary. There is also a man brandishing a sword, who is said to guard the Constitution that teaches the principle of justice, wisdom and moderation. On top of the emblem are the words, “In God We Trust.” Surrounding the emblem are 13 white stars that suggest that Georgia was one of the first colonies of the US.
