The bald eagle represents its loyalty to the United States of America, while the banner embodies the values of the Iowan citizens.
The Iowa flag is significantly younger than the state of Iowa. The Iowa territory became a state in , but the state government believed that the national flag could represent every state in addition to the entire nation, and thus did not see the need for a state flag until the United States joined the first world war in The state government assumed that many Iowan soldiers would fight in distinct regiments, and those regiments needed a flag to mark them out from the rest of the American army.
A design was approved for use shortly after America joined the war, and flags Iowa National Guard units received their flags soon after. They were of limited use because soldiers from many different states were assigned to the regiments during the war, but the design still found its place in Iowan culture. The design was the natural choice for a state flag after the war ended, and so it became the official state flag of Iowa in Iowa was never in a hurry to adopt a state flag as Iowans felt, after the Civil war, that the stars and stripes appropriately represented all of the United States.
And so it was not until , almost seventy-five years after the admission of Iowa into the Union, that a state flag was finally adopted by the Legislature. The Guardsmen saw that units from other states carried identifying banners and the Iowans felt that they should possess a unique banner of to identify their origins.
When Governor William L. Harding was made aware of this, he ordered that a banner be sent immediately to the Guardsmen, but soon found that Iowa did not have a State banner. Lue Prentiss of Knoxville, came to the rescue. A design contest of sorts was held by the D. Lue Prentiss, and others. Gebhardt wrote that "Iowa's banner should embrace the history of its domain from the time of its occupation by the Indians to discovery by the French and purchase from Napoleon by Jefferson, to its admission into the Union, down to the present time.
All this should be represented in a design so simple that school children and adults can recognize its symbolism and know that it meant Iowa. White was chosen to symbolize the unwritten page of history at the state's beginning, when the first Native Americans lived on Iowa's prairies and represents purity.
Blue represents loyalty, justice, and truth and red stands for courage. An eagle is displayed on the white center stripe of the flag. The eagle carries in its beak blue streamers with the state motto , "Our liberties we prize, and our rights we will maintain", inscribed on it in white letters. After the selection was made, another committee was organized to prepare flags to present to each outgoing regiment of Iowa as well as those already in the field.
