It could also represent power of endurance and gallantry. White on the other hand signifies a softer side, which is purity and virtuousness. Both are the vertical stripes on the flag. The third one which is blue is also known as the color of the Chief. It is the large band right above the vertical stripes. The Blue background signifies the vigilance and the relationship of the people with God that created everything in the Universe.
