Today the flags of Vermont and Connecticut fly to welcome our friends Hugh and Liz to hour home. Hugh and Liz met at college in Connecticut and now call Vermont home.
The Vermont Flag is defined in 1 V.S.A. § 495, which reads, “The Flag of the State shall be blue with the Coat of Arms of the State thereon.” It was adopted by the Vermont General Assembly on June 1, 1923.
Connecticut General Statutes § 3-107 defines the flag thusly, “The following-described flag is the official flag of the state. The dimensions of the flag shall be five feet and six inches in length, four feet and four inches in width. The flag shall be azure blue, charged with an argent white shield of rococo design, having in the center three grape vines, supported and bearing fruit in natural colors. The bordure to the shield shall be in two colors, gold on the interior and silver on the exterior, adorned with natural-colored clusters of white oak leaves (Quercus alba) bearing acorns. Below the shield shall be a white streamer, cleft at each end, bordered by a band of gold within fine brown lines, and upon the streamer in dark blue block letters shall be the motto “QUI TRANSTULIT SUSTINET”; the whole design being the arms of the state.”
