Governor Walz Orders Flags at Half-Staff Monday in Honor of Memorial Day
Governor Tim Walz has ordered all United States and Minnesota flags to fly at half-staff at all state buildings in Minnesota from sunrise until noon on Monday, May 27, 2024, in honor of those who have died while serving in the United States military.
*“Memorial Day serves as a day of remembrance for people to gather for one purpose: to remember our fallen, pay homage to their sacrifice and courage, and recognize the selflessness of military service,”* reads the proclamation issued by Governor Walz. *“We honor those today who made the ultimate sacrifice for this great nation.”*
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."
