Governor Brad Little orders flags to half-staff for Patriot Day

Governor Brad Little orders U.S. flags and State of Idaho flags to be lowered to half-staff for the entire day on September 11, Patriot Day, in accordance with Public Law 107-89. The order honors the heroes who ran toward danger, remembers the innocent lives taken, and recognizes the unity and patriotism that emerged after the attacks of September 11.

The lowering applies for the full day on September 11 and covers U.S. flags and State of Idaho flags. No narrower county, city, or facility limit is stated, so the order applies across Idaho.

Patriot Day is observed each year on September 11 as a day of remembrance for the victims of the attacks and the first responders who answered them. The flag order directs public observance through the end of the day.
