Governor Walz Orders Flags at Half-Staff in Honor of Former Vice President Dick Cheney

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 immediately and until sunset on the day of internment in honor and remembrance of former Vice President Dick Cheney, who passed away on November 3, 2025.

*“Former Vice President Cheney devoted decades to public service, holding a variety of roles throughout his career and redefining the role of Vice President,” *said Governor Walz.* “Gwen and I extend our deepest condolences to the Cheney family and all who are mourning his passing.”*

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.
