Pennsylvania's State Flag is more of a square than a rectangle. It is composed
of a blue field on which the State Coat of Arms is embroidered. Draft horses are on either side of the coat of arms and the American eagle rests on the top. The scroll at the bottom reads Virtue, Liberty and Independence.

The Monongahela River (affectionately referred to as The Mon) is a river on the Allegheny Plateau in West Virginia and Pennsylvania in the United States. At Pittsburgh, it meets the Allegheny River to form the Ohio River.

The Monongahela is formed by the conflluence of the West Fork River and the Tygart Valley River at Fairmont, West Virginia. It is one of the largest rivers in the United States to flow generally northward. The river is navigable its entire length with a series of lock/dams ensuring a 9' depth. In Pennsylvania, the Monongahela is met by two major tributaries: the Cheat River, which joins at Point Marion; and the Youghiogheny River, which joins at McKeesport.
