Iowa

The flag of Iowa is the flag of France, but the blue and red stripes are half the width of the middle white stripe. In the white stripe is a stylized flying eagle, holding a stylized blue banner in its beak, with the words "OUR LIBERTIES WE PRIZE AND OUR RIGHTS WE WILL MAINTAIN". Underneath the eagle and banner is the word "IOWA" in red.
==Symbolism==
The colors and stripes in the style of the French flag - blue, white, and red - represent the fact that Iowa was a part of the French Louisiana. They are also the same colors of the United States flag. The eagle and banner are taken from the state seal of Iowa.
