Governor Walz Orders Flags at Half-Staff in Honor of Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day

Governor Tim Walz has proclaimed Thursday, December 7, 2023, as Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day in Minnesota and ordered all Minnesota flags to be flown at half-staff at all state buildings from sunrise until sunset on Thursday, December 7, 2023, in honor and remembrance of those who died during the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and those who sacrificed their lives for liberty and freedom during World War II.

*?Over 16 million people served in the U.S. Armed Forces during the four long years of World War II,?* reads the proclamation issued by Governor Walz. *?It is fitting and proper to remember the sacrifices of all who served in defense of our nation during World War II, especially those who paid the ultimate price and lost their lives in defense of the liberties that Americans enjoy.?*

Individuals, businesses, and other organizations are also encouraged to join in lowering their flags.

Flags at Half-Staff

"In keeping with appropriate flag etiquette and U.S. Code, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz may order the state flag to be flown at half-staff under very limited circumstances. He may also order the national flag to be flown at half-staff on state property only. A state flag on state property is required by law to be flown at half-staff if the national flag is flown at half-staff."
