 * 1) The Micronesian coat of arms is representing their motto "peace, unity, and liberty" You can see in the background the 4 stars and the light blue background is Micronesia's flag. I think the palm tree on the little island is because Micronesia is a very small island and the palm tree might be because it's a tropical island or if they depend on the palm trees for living.
 * 2) In 1979 the Micronesian flag changed from 6 stars to 4 stars. The original 6 stars are represented: Palau, Truk, Marshall Islands, Yap, Ponape, and the Northern Marianas. And now it only has 4 stars because that Palau and the Marshall Islands decided they didn't want to be a part of Micronesia. So thats why you only can see the 4 stars on in the background on this coat of arms, the old one had 6 stars in the background.
 * 3) Now the coat of arms is seen/used in the army on their shirts. it is also used on police cars and ambulances. It is also very popular to wear it on t-shirts (no clue why, but it is)
