The Missouri state flag has 3 stripes; one of red' one of white' and the other of blue. The red stripe is at the top, white in the middle, and blue at the bottom. The color in these stripes all have their own meaning. The red represents valor, the white stands for purity, while the blue represents the permanency, vigilance, and justice of the state. In the center of the strips sits the Missouri state seal surrounded by 24 white stars.The seal contains a shield with the Great Seal of the United States on the right side while the left has images representing the state of Missouri, a bear and a crescent moon. Bears stand on both sides of the shield, signifying strength and bravery. The crescent moon indicates the newness of the state and its potential for growth. Around the shield are the words "United we stand, divided we fall." The shield also has a belt buckle on the bottom as a reminder the state can secede from the Union if necessary. A banner scrolls from the 2 bears feet which reads "Salus Populi Suprema Lex Esto", which translates to "Let the welfare of the people be the supreme law." Below these images are the roman numerals for the year 1820.

This design and flag was passed in 1913 and has remained unchanged.
