| The flag consists of three alternate stripes
of equal width and at right angles to the staff, the two outer stripes
to be blue of the same color as in the blue field of the national flag
and the middle stripe to be white, the proportion of the flag being
a width of two-thirds of its length. At a distance from the staff end
of the flag of one fifth of the total length of the flag there is a
circular red C, of the same color as the red in the national flag of
the United States. The diameter of the letter is two-thirds of the width
of the flag. The inner line of the opening of the letter C is three-fourths
of the width of its body or bar, and the outer line of the opening is
double the length of the inner line thereof. Completely filling the
open space inside the letter C is a golden disk, attached to the flag
is a cord of gold and silver, intertwined, with tassels, one of gold
and one of silver. Flag adopted 1911 |
