Maldives Flag

The crescent on this flag is the official and most commonly used symbol of the Maldives and was adopted on July 25, 1965. The red color in the outermost rectangle represents the boldness of the nation's heroes, in the past, future and present, who were not (and will bot be) hesitant to sacrifice up to his very last drop of blood defending their nation. The green rectangle in the center represents the innumerable amount of coconut palm trees on the islands, a historic life source still used for various purposes today. And the white crescent moon symbolizes a state of unified Islamic faith.
