Flags to Remain at Half-Staff Through Saturday, December 7

This is a notice that all United States and Minnesota flags at all state buildings in Minnesota should remain at half-staff until sunset on Saturday, December 7, 2024, following the memorial service for Red Lake Nation Tribal Officer Jesse Branch.

Governor Walz'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.
