Mast interpretation
Governor Larry Rhoden ordered flags to be flown at half-staff at the State Capitol in honor of Lars Herseth. The directive marks a day of remembrance for Herseth and lowers the flags for the full daylight observance.
The order applies only to the State Capitol, not to the entire state. Flags are to be lowered from sunrise until sunset on Sunday, October 4, 2026, and then returned to full staff at sunset.
This is a fixed one-day observance with a clear start and end tied to the published sunrise-to-sunset window.
