Massachusetts
|
| On a white field is a blue shield emblazoned with the image of a Native
American, Massachuset. He holds a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other.
The arrow is pointing downward representing peace. The white star represents
Massachusetts as one of the original thirteen states. Around the shield
is a blue ribbon with the motto: " By the Sword We Seek Peace, but Peace
Only Under Liberty". Above the shield is a arm and sword, representing
the first part of the motto. |
