The flag of Missouri displays a horizontal tricolor of red, white, and blue. The Great Seal of Missouri is centered on the three bands. The Seal is surrounded by a broad blue band with 24 white stars. Two bears, symbolizing Missouri's native bears, support the center shield. A scroll carries the state motto, "Salus populi suprema lex esto", which is a Latin phrase that means "Let the welfare of the people be the supreme law."
