THE BEST WAY TO REPRESENT THE VIRGIN ISLANDS

Inspired by the music (our steel pan), the U.S.Virgin Islands (our flag), the history of the land (our sugar mills), and the love of our people and our friends (You).

WE - THE UNITED STATES VIRGIN ISLANDS

      The United States Virgin Islands, previously known as the Danish West Indies, are located in the Caribbean just southwest of Puerto Rico. The  U.S.V.I. consists of three larger islands: St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St.John and numerous smaller islands, cays, and keys. The Virgin Islands were purchased by the United States in 1917 and are collectively organized as an unicorporated territory of the United States. Charlotte Amalie, the capital, is located on St. Thomas.

THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS FLAG

The flag of the United States Virgin Islands was adopted by Executive Order on May 17, 1921. Upon a white field between, the letters V I, an American Eagle in yellow is displayed with the shield of the United States on its breast. A sprig of laurel is in its dexter talon, while a bundle of three blue arrows are in its sinister talon. The letters V I and the three arrows are in` azure blue and the blue of the shield is the blue of the arms and flag of the United States. The flag of the Virgin Islands uses a simplified version of the U.S. Coat of Arms. The three arrows represent the three main islands.

THE VIRGIN ISLANDS SUGAR MILL 

       Venturing into the countryside, fifty-four sugar mills, each with imposing windmill towers and factory chimneys, rest in the shadows of stately 18th-and 19th-century Great Houses. They serve as reminders and tangible connections to the islands' past and our place in the history of sugar production.
