Michigan entered the Union in 1837 as the 26th State.
Michigan adopted its flag in 1911. The national motto is accompanied in the Michigan arms by the slogans "I Shall Defend" and "If You Seek a Pleasant Peninsula, Look Around You." An elk, moose, and scenes from nature are included in the design.
Michigan state flags, flag decals, and Michigan state deal decals are available from FlagLine.com.
