Flag flap

Here’s our submission for the new USVI flag. Says enough, don’t you think? Oh, you missed this story? A VI senator (Alvin Williams, Jr.) is proposing a bill that would create a committee to come up with a new design for the USVI flag. He thinks the current flag, designed in 1921, is too colonial. And the flag committee would get a $300,000 budget, PLUS salaries for clerical and administrative staff, PLUS per diem pay for flag commission meetings. The nine member flag commission would include 8 people from St. Thomas and St. Croix and only one member from St. John. We kinda like the current flag. We now know why the eagle is clutching three arrows. One for each island. Here’s the story.
