Flags in Missouri at Half-Staff

From what I have seen many times citizens don't know why flags are at half-staff at Missouri's State facilities. It is often to honor fallen soldiers/Marines or other men/women that have fallen in service to the state of Missouri.

If you see the flags at half-staff and wonder why, a good place to look is the Governor's Newsroom Archives.

This year alone, the Governor has ordered flags at half-staff 20 times.
