Governor Walz Orders Flags at Half-Staff 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 the State of Minnesota, from sunrise until noon on Monday, May 26, 2025, in honor of those who have died while serving in the United States military.

*“On Memorial Day we honor the brave service members who have given their lives for our great nation,” *said Governor Walz. *“The sacrifice of those who defend our freedom and democracy cannot be repaid; as we work toward peace, let us never forget those who have served on our behalf.”*

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."
