Hawaii's Flag Has a Different Country's Flag on It

Did you know that Hawaii has its own flag? This flag sets it apart from the rest of the United States, but there's something about it that has left many people scratching their heads. While this flag has the typical red, white, and blue colors of the American flag, it also has another country's flag mixed into it. On the left-hand corner, you might spot the Union Jack from the United Kingdom.

This inclusion is to signify the strong relationship that Hawaii has with both the United States and the United Kingdom. After all, the islands were once under the United Kingdom's protection.
