Flags to Remain at Half-Staff Through Sunday, October 13

This is an update on the order by Governor Tim Walz to lower all Minnesota and United States flags in honor of Voyageurs National Park law enforcement ranger Kevin Grossheim. United States and Minnesota flags at all state buildings in the State of Minnesota should remain at half-staff until sunset on Sunday, October 13, 2024, following the memorial service for Kevin Grossheim.

The Governor's original proclamation is linked here for reference.

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.
