Here he describes the inspiration behind the design: “The blue field is for the Alaska sky and the forget-me-not, an Alaskan flower. The North Star is for the future state of Alaska, the most northerly in the Union. The dipper is for the Great Bear—symbolizing strength.” #SharingAlaska by @alaskanvictory | Sharing Alaska | Facebook
