North Dakota State Flag
| A short history of the North Dakota State flag | Infantrymen from the state during the Philippine Campaign of 1898-99 carried today's flag of North Dakota. Commander of the First Battalion, Major John Fraine, lobbied for the Color to be adopted as the state flag. The legislation adopted it on March 3, 1911 but the original drafting of the legislation didn't describe the Color correctly. It wasn't until 1943 that the revised legislation put the matter right. A new flag was adopted for the National Guard since the state flag was in effect a military Color on March 15,1957. The state flag has an eagle flourishing a scroll bearing the national motto and has thirteen stars representing the original states of the Union. |
