Virginia

Worn from:
29 November 1956 - Current.

Virginia was named in 1584 in honor of Queen Elizabeth of England,
popularly called the "Virgin Queen," and was the first state to be
colonized by early settlers who were loyal to England. The saltire
on the scarlet background refers to colonial heritage and further
signifies Virginia's entry into the union as the tenth state.
The broken chain and the spear are adapted from the state seal.
