New Hampshire
Today, the flag of the state of New Hampshire flies in commemoration of the state’s ratification of the Constitution on June 21, 1788. As it was the ninth state to do so, the Constitution officially came into effect, in accordance with the provisions of Article VII.
New Hampshire Statutes Section 3:2 defines the flag as follows, “The state flag shall be of the following color and design: The body or field shall be blue and shall bear upon its center in suitable proportion and colors a representation of the state seal. The seal shall be surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves with nine stars interspersed. When used for military purposes the flag shall conform to the regulations of the United States.” This law was approved on February 24, 1909.
Greenland
The flag of Greenland also flies in celebration of that nation’s national day.
Greenland gained home rule from Denmark in 1979 and self rule on June 21, 2009. The flag of Greenland was adopted on June 21, 1985, after a process that began 12 years earlier, in 1973. The white half of the flag symbolizes the icecap, icebergs and ice floes, while the red half symbolizes the rising and setting sun, which gives the sea its beautiful red sheen. Greenland’s flag is the only nordic national flag which does not feature a nordic cross.
