Missouri entered the Union in 1821 as the 24th State.
Missouri adopted its flag in 1913. On a background of the national colors appear the Missouri arms framed by stars indicating its order of Statehood. The Latin motto means "Let the Welfare of the People Be the Supreme Law."
Missouri state flags, flag decals, and Missouri state deal decals are available from FlagLine.com.
