american samoa large clock

The flag of American Samoa is a flag consisting of a red-edged white triangle pointing towards the hoist charged with a bald eagle clutching a war club and fly-whisk, with dark blue upper and lower triangles. Adopted in April 1960 to replace the "Stars and Stripes" as the official flag of the territory, it has been the flag of the Territory of American Samoa since that year. The colours used epitomise the traditional colours of the United States and Samoa. The bald eagle and the blue, white and red colours symbolise the country’s ties to the United States. The eagle holds a staff and a war club, two traditional symbols of the Samoan chiefs.
