Meaning of the flag of Guam
The palm, which grows in poor, sandy soil, stands for the strength and self-reliance of the islanders, and the proa recalls the Chamorro skill at sailing the open ocean. The blue represents the sea and the sky that surround the island. The design dates from 1917, and the red border was added when it became the official territorial flag in 1948.
