U.S. Army Soldiers, assigned to the 34th Infantry Division “Red Bulls,” become the first Minnesotans to legally fly the new State flag on a military installation in the U.S. Central Command area of operations on Minnesota’s statehood day, May 11, 2024. Hand-written on the new flag is ‘The first official state of MN flag to be flown anywhere in the world.’ The State Emblems Redesign Commission adopted the new design in December 2023. The new design, submitted by Andrew Prekker and slightly modified by the commission, echoes Minnesota’s motto of being the North Star State with its simple design of a white, eight-point star pointing north, a dark blue abstract shape representing the shape of Minnesota, and light blue filling the remaining portion of the flag, representing the 10,000 lakes.
