VIRGINIA STATE FLAG

The Virginia state flag is a striking and distinctive emblem that proudly represents the Commonwealth of Virginia, one of the original thirteen American colonies. Its design features a deep blue field adorned with the state's official seal, which is encircled by a white ribbon displaying the Latin motto, "Sic Semper Tyrannis," meaning "Thus Always to Tyrants." The central image of the seal portrays the Roman goddess Virtus, symbolizing virtue and freedom, standing triumphantly over a defeated Tyranny, who is depicted with a fallen crown. The flag's bold and meaningful imagery reflects Virginia's historical role in the fight for independence and its commitment to upholding the principles of liberty and justice. This flag stands as a testament to the state's rich heritage and its enduring dedication to the values of democracy and self-governance.
