JEFFERSON CITY, MO – In celebration of the U.S. Marine Corps' 250th birthday, Governor Mike Kehoe has ordered the Missouri State Capitol dome to shine red, white, and blue, beginning at sunrise on Monday, November 10, 2025, until sunrise on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. The lighting pays tribute to generations of Marines who have served our nation with courage, honor, and unwavering commitment to the United States of America.

"For 250 years, the United States Marine Corps has stood as a symbol of unmatched courage, discipline, and devotion to our nation," said Governor Kehoe. "Lighting the Capitol dome red, white, and blue is a promise that Missouri will never forget the valor of this elite force whose courage and character have shaped the very course of our nation's history."

Events commemorating the Marine Corps' 250th birthday will take place statewide, including gatherings hosted by veterans' organization and community partners. Missourians are encouraged to participate in these celebrations to honor past, present, and future Marines.

Photos of the Capitol lighted red, white, and blue will be available on Governor Kehoe’s Flickr page.
