Mast interpretation
Governor Larry Rhoden ordered flags to be flown at half-staff at the State Capitol in honor of Harvey Krautschun. The tribute marks Krautschun’s remembrance with a ceremonial lowering of the flags for the day.
Flags remain at half-staff on Friday, January 9, 2026, beginning at sunrise and returning to full staff at sunset. The order is limited to the State Capitol, rather than the entire state or other public facilities.
This kind of observance provides a formal public honor while keeping the schedule precise: sunrise starts the lowering, and sunset ends it on the same day.
