Flag of Missouri state

The Missouri flag often referred to as the Missouri Flag, is the flag of the US state of Missouri. It consists of three equal horizontal tribes of red, white, and blue stripes with Missouri arms in the center.

The red and white stripes, according to Mary Elizabeth Oliver, traditionally represent courage and purity. Blue represents three things: durability, vigilance, and government justice.

These three colors also highlight the influence of France on this country in the early years. The Missouri flag was established on March 22, 1913, when Governor Elliott Wolfolk Major signed and made the state flag law official.

History

Missouri did not have an official flag until 1861.

Marie Elizabeth Oliver designed the Missouri flag and stitched, the wife of former Sen. R. B. Oliver in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

When she was appointed chair of the DAR Committee to Research and Design the Missouri Flag, she began her flag project in 1908 as part of her volunteer work with the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).

Oliver did a lot of research on state flags. He wrote to each state’s foreign minister to find out how his state flags designed and approved.

His original design included the Militia logo and his friend Mary Kochitsky presented it as a painted paper flag.

Both bills were not approved by parliament. A rival flag design, by Dr. G.H., Called the “Holcomb Flag,” Halkum opposed it because of its resemblance to the United States flag and its lack of Missouri symbolism.

 The original paper flag of Oliver was destroyed by the burning of the state capital of Missouri in 1911. With Ms. S.D. McFarland sewed Oliver the second flag in silk.

His design was approved on March 22, 1913, when Governor Elliott Wolfolk Major signed the Oliver Flag Bill. The design of the flag has remained unchanged to this day. The silk flag was held by Marie Oliver until 1961 when it was given to Missouri by her son Allen.

This flag was displayed until it started to break down and was placed in storage. In 1988, Secretary of State Roy De Blunt challenged elementary students to raise money to return the flag.

The campaign was a success, and the restored flag has since been displayed at the James C. Kirkpatrick State Information Center in Jefferson.

Oliver-Laming House, also known as the Missouri State Flag House, was inscribed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Meaning

The color and design of the Missouri flag have significant significance. The colors chosen for the flag represent qualities such as alertness, justice, courage, and purity. Also, the state seal is also prominent on the flag, as well as a 24-star band, which symbolizes Missouri entering the United States as the 24th state.

Design and colors

The flag is a tricolor consisting of three horizontal stripes of red, white, and blue and resembles the Dutch flag. These show bravery, purity, vigilance, and justice. These colors also reflect the state of the state as part of Louisiana, France.

In the middle of the white ribbon is the Missouri seal, which a blue-ribbon containing 24 stars encircled, symbolizing Missouri’s acceptance as the 24th state of the United States.

The flag also contains the state seal that says “Salus Populi Suprema Lex Esto” which translates to “the health (well-being, good, salvation, happiness) of the people must be the supreme law.”
