Mast analysis

Mast interpretation

The August 25, 2026 notice on Alaska’s official website reproduces a proclamation signed by President Donald J. Trump. It covers the U.S. flag at the White House, public buildings and grounds, military posts and naval stations, and federal naval vessels throughout the United States and its territories and possessions. It also covers U.S. embassies, legations, consular offices and other facilities abroad, including military facilities and vessels.

The proclamation ends the lowering at sunset on September 1, 2026. It does not specify a sunrise start or an exact start clock time. Mast’s retained start boundary and calculated clock times are unverified; this record is held for evidence review. No separate directive for the Alaska state flag was verified.

Corrections and revisions

correctedOctober 19, 2026 at 5:42 PM UTC
Corrected the issuing authority to the President, identified Alaska’s notice as a republication, narrowed coverage to the proclamation’s specified locations and linked the dated notice. Preserved the original recorded schedule under an evidence hold because the start boundary and exact hours are unverified.
