In observance of Memorial Day, Gov. Jay Nixon has ordered that the U.S. and Missouri flags on all state buildings in Missouri be flown at half-staff on Monday, May 25, until noon, in accordance with Section 6 of the U.S. Flag Code. He also encouraged Missourians to honor those who lost their lives while serving in the nation's armed forces.

"The freedoms we enjoy are possible because of the brave men and women in our military who have been willing to sacrifice their own lives on behalf of our nation," Gov. Nixon said. "On Memorial Day, I ask all Missourians to especially remember those who have paid this ultimate price for freedom."
