What this seal means

The circular MAST seal means Mast created this record from an official source and normalized its schedule, scope, and details for easier reference.

Mast analysis

Mast interpretation

The source text cites Public Law 107–89, which designates September 11 as Patriot Day and requests that state and local governments and the people of the United States observe the day with appropriate programs and activities.

It also requests that all departments, agencies, and instrumentalities of the United States, along with interested organizations and individuals, display the flag of the United States at half-staff on Patriot Day in honor of the individuals who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

The text does not contain a Missouri-specific directive or a governor-issued half-staff announcement. It is a federal law page that includes a request for annual observance and flag display on September 11.

Because the source is a federal Patriot Day law rather than a state order, the geographic scope is jurisdiction-wide only as a general request and does not name any counties, cities, or facilities.
