*Governor Kehoe Orders Flags to Fly at Full-Staff in Honor of Inauguration Day*

*JEFFERSON CITY, MO —*Today, in an act of respect and patriotism, Governor Mike Kehoe signed Executive Order 25-09, ordering U.S. and Missouri flags to be flown at full-staff on Monday, January 20, 2025, at all state buildings and grounds in honor of Inauguration Day. 

This directive aligns with federal statute [ [link removed](d)%20The%20flag%20should%20be,Day%2C%20second%20Sunday%20in%20May%3B ], which states that flags should be prominently displayed during specific occasions, especially for the inauguration of a U.S. President. 

“While Missouri continues to mourn the passing of former President Jimmy Carter and remembers his remarkable legacy of service to our nation by displaying our flags at half-staff, we will also celebrate the promise of a new chapter for our country and the opportunities that lie ahead,” said *Governor Kehoe*. “To commemorate the democratic transition of power, I have directed all flags to be raised to full-staff for the inauguration of the 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.”
