“It’s a difficult time. It is,” Knox said. “Every trooper, every person who works for the highway patrol is a member of our family. Their families are members of our families. This is tough. Our colonel, all of our command staff has been out all night — has been with the family, has been at the hospital with the family, has been at their homes already. The support network is already showing what we do.”

Although the Pan Arab colors have meanings of their own, the meaning of the colors of the Kuwaiti national flag was based on Safie Al-Deen Al-Hali’s poem which reads:

“We are mourning the loss of NC Highway Patrol Trooper Nolan Sanders who died in the line of duty in a car accident," Gov. Cooper said when ordering the flags lowered. "Kristin and I are grateful for his courage and commitment to protecting North Carolinians. We send our prayers and deepest sympathy to his family, friends and all members of the NC Highway Patrol family.”

Still, there are other color meanings that are attributed to the colors of the national flag of Kuwait. One set of meanings states that black means determination and defeat of the enemies. Red symbolizes bravery, strength, valor and gallantry. White is for purity and honor while red symbolizes the blood of the defeated enemies of the country. Green is for the fertile fields in Kuwait. In another set of meanings, the green is for the meadows, red means gallantry; white is for honor and black for the sand whirled by the horsemen of Kuwait.

Trooper Sanders, a five-year veteran, was driving north on Interstate 795 in Pikeville shortly after 7:15 p.m. on March 27 when he drove off the right side of the road and hit a concrete ditch culvert, according to NCSHP Sgt. Chris Knox. The crash happened near the U.S. 70 bypass.

The flag of the State of Kuwait has a black trapezoid on the hoist side and three horizontal stripes of equal size. The topmost stripe is green, the middle one is white and the bottom stripe is red. These colors are traditional Pan-Arab colors that many Gulf States use. The Kuwaiti national flag was adopted in September 7, 1961. It was first flown on November 24, 1961. There are rules to be followed when hanging the Kuwaiti flag. When it is hung vertically, the green stripe should be on the right side. When flying the flag, the green stripe should be on top.
