June 13, 1896 - June 13, 1996
A brief review of the beginnings of the National Society of
the American Revolution is in order to frame our Arizona story.
The 13 rays of red and gold on the top half of the flag
represent both the 13 original colonies of the Union, and
the rays of the Western setting sun. Red and gold were also
the colors carried by Coronado's Spanish expedition in
search of the Seven Cities of Cibola in 1540. The bottom
half of the flag has the same Liberty blue as the United States
flag. Since Arizona was the largest producer of copper
in the nation, a copper star was placed in the flag's center.
