In 1895, members of the Puerto Rican Revolutionary Committee in New York City adopted this design by simply inverting the colors of the Cuban flag. This act of solidarity gave birth to the famous saying that Cuba and Puerto Rico are \u003ci\u003ede un pájaro las dos alas\u003c\/i\u003e (two wings of the same bird). For decades, the flag was actually a symbol of resistance and was even outlawed under the \"Gag Law\" until 1952, when it was finally adopted as the official commonwealth banner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLooking for a larger size?\u003c\/strong\u003e If you need a version for a full-sized flagpole, you can find our traditional 3' x 5' \u003ca title=\"Puerto Rico Flag\" href=\"https:\/\/flagsforgood.com\/products\/puerto-rico-flag\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePuerto Rico flag\u003c\/a\u003e here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flags For Good","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47869941055733,"sku":"PR-G","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/1373\/3790\/files\/puerto-rico-garden-flag.jpg?v=1774283944"},{"product_id":"curacao-flag","title":"Curaçao Flag 🇨🇼","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3' x 5' polyester Curaçao Flag with grommets and double-stitched edges to reduce fraying.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✍️ The Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e The flag of Curacao is a vibrant tribute to the sun, sea, and spirit of the Caribbean.

At the center of the cross sits the national coat of arms, which holds a unique world record: the Dominican Republic is the only country in the world to feature a Bible on its national flag. The Bible is open to the Gospel of John, chapter 8, verse 32, which reads: \u003ci\u003eY la verdad os hará libres\u003c\/i\u003e (\"And the truth shall make you free\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNational Days of Celebration:\u003c\/strong\u003e The flag is the heartbeat of the nation during \u003cb\u003eIndependence Day\u003c\/b\u003e on February 27, marking the end of the 22-year occupation by Haiti in 1844.
