9. When my brother was in Viet Nam
he wrote asking for an Illinois flag. He said everyone had a state flag, and he thought the Maryland flag was the coolest one.

11. Tennessee! I've lived in Iowa, Nebraska, California, Ohio, and South Dako
Edited on Wed Dec-22-04 07:17 PM by SharonAnn
they all have nice features, I especially like Iowa's motto "Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain."

However, for sheer good looks, I think Tennessee's flag is the best. That's not true of everything in this state but we do have a few great things and the state flag is one of them.

18. Oklahoma


I like what the symbols represent.

The Oklahoma state flag honors more than 60 groups of Native Americans and their ancestors. The blue field comes from a flag carried by Choctaw soldiers during the civil war. The center shield is the battle shield of an Osage warrior. It is made of buffalo hide and decorated with eagle feathers. Two symbols of peace lie across the shield. One is the calumet, or peace pipe. The other is an olive branch. Crosses on the shield are Native American signs for stars, representing high ideals.

23. i like mine...wisconsin




Starting at the top of a shield on a dark blue field is the state motto "Forward". Below it is a badger the state animal. A sailor and miner show that the people work on water and land. The shield in the center shows Wisconsin's support for the United States. In four sections surrounding the shield are representations of the states main industries: Agriculture, mining, manufacturing and navigation. The cornucopia and pile of lead represent farm products and minerals. The flag law was amended in 1979 to include the name of the state and the date of statehood.
