Governor Mike Kehoe of Missouri has signed an Executive Order to fly U.S. and Missouri flags at full-staff on Inauguration Day, aligning with federal statute. This decision comes after flags were lowered to half-staff in honor of former President Jimmy Carter’s recent passing. Governor Kehoe stated that while Missouri continues to mourn Carter, the state will also celebrate the promise of a new chapter for the country. All flags in Missouri will be raised to full-staff for the inauguration of the 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. This decision mirrors similar actions taken by Governors of Iowa, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Arkansas. In a show of respect and unity, these states are honoring the peaceful transition of power and looking towards the future with optimism.
