Alaska's+flag

The flag came through in a competition, where school students submitted proposals. A 13 year old Native American boy named Bennie Benson won. It had been sent in 142 proposals. He won 1000 dollars and a watch for winning the contest. The flag is blue with 8 stars on. The 13 year old boy, Benny Benson explained that the blue colour in the flag stands for the sky. 7 of the stars constitute ”Charles's wain” and the largest star is the Polar Star. Benson explained that the Polar Star represents Alaska's future, while ”Charles’s wain” symbolizes strength.

Alaska has a song to the flag and the song became Alaska's official song in 1955. The song was written by Marie Drake and was first written in 1935 as a poem. The composer Elinor Dusenbury made late music to the poem and it’s now the Alaska’s official song.  //**Alaska's Flag Song** Eight stars of gold on a field of blue, Alaska's Flag, may it mean to you The blue of the sea, the evening sky, The mountain lakes and the flow'rs nearby, //  //The gold of the early sourdough dreams, The precious gold of the hills and streams, The brilliant stars in the northern sky, The Bear, the Dipper, and shining high, // //media type="youtube" key="-QMmayU3Bzw" height="344" width="425" align="right" The great North star with its steady light. O'er land and sea a beacon bright, Alaska's Flag to Alaskans dear, The simple flag of a last frontier //

// Here can you listen to the song. // --->
