Flag and symbols
A dark-blue field with a narrow red border on every side centers a red-bordered, pointed, vertical ellipse containing a beach scene, a proa, and a palm tree. The ellipse centers the word GUAM in red. The proa, an outrigger canoe with sail, is sailing in Agana Bay with the promontory of Puntan Dos Amantes in the background. Blue stands for the sea, and red for the blood shed in the fight against oppression; the central emblem is shaped like a Chamorro sling stone, a weapon for defense or hunting. The coconut tree is a national symbol.
