​Today's Moment to Remember
... Flag Steward asks - Who am I? ...

I'm the "Beehive State" - as displayed on my state highway signs (see below)
My state motto is simply "Industry"

With 5 National Parks, this state has the 3rd most National Parks of any state

OTD, January 4, in 1896, I was admitted as the 45th State in the Union

​Do you know who I am now?
Here's one last clue...
I'm the state in the NW corner of the famous 'Four Corners' out West

​
Yes, I'm Utah - the only state where the majority of its citizens belong to one church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon)

FINALLY! - State-targeted Half-Staff Alerts:
