ARUBA
- Proportions 2:3 - National flag and civil ensign
|
 Officially
adopted on March 18, 1976, along with the official anthem 'Aruba
Dushi Tera'. It was chosen on March 18 because it was on this day in 1948
that Holland accepted Aruba's right to choose for an autonomous status
in the kingdom of the Netherlands. The Aruba flag has four colours:
bunting yellow, larkspur (or U.N.) blue, Union red and white. Each of
these colors is significant: the blue represents the sea that surrounds
Aruba; yellow is the colour of abundance, representing the island's past
and present industries of gold, aloe and oil; red is for love each
Aruban has for his or her country and the ancient industry of Brazil
wood; and white symbolized the snow-white beaches as well as the purity
of the hearts of Aruba's people who strive for justice, order and
liberty. The symbols on the flag consist of a red star and two yellow
stripes. The star also represents the island itself, surrounded by the
beautiful blue sea. The horizontal yellow stripes denote the free and
separate position.
