The Missouri state flag consists of three horizontal stripes of red, white, and blue, with the state seal in the center. The state seal features a grizzly bear on the left side, a bald eagle on the right side, and a banner with the state motto "United we stand, divided we fall" in the center. The red, white, and blue colors of the flag represent valor, purity, and justice, respectively.
The Missouri flag was designed by Marie Elizabeth Watkins Oliver, the wife of former state senator R.B. Oliver, in 1908. It was officially adopted as the state flag on March 22, 1913.
The flag is sometimes flown upside down to indicate distress or as a sign of protest. Missouri law allows for the flag to be flown at half-staff to honor fallen soldiers or other individuals of significance.
Overall, the Missouri state flag is a symbol of the state's values and history, and is proudly displayed at government buildings, schools, and other institutions throughout the state.
