U.S. Army Soldiers, assigned to the 34th Infantry Division “Red Bulls,” lower the previous Minnesota State flag during a ceremony in the U.S. Central Command area of operations, May 11, 2024. The Red Bulls became the first Minnesotans to legally fly the new State flag on a military installation after 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.
