The flag of the Dominican Republic represents the Dominican Republic and, together with the coat of arms and the national anthem, has the status of a national symbol. The blue on the flag stands for liberty, the white for salvation, and the red for the blood of heroes.[1] The civil flag follows the same design, but without the charge in the center. The flag was designed by Juan Pablo Duarte.[2]
