Wisconsin posts presidential flag order honoring Senator Lindsey Graham
Wisconsin’s Department of Military Affairs posted a presidential order directing the U.S. flag to half-staff at the locations specified in the proclamation, immediately through 6:00 p.m. on July 18, 2026. The linked documents do not establish a separate Governor Evers directive for Wisconsin flags.
Mast interpretation
Wisconsin DMA labels this notice a presidential order and links President Donald J. Trump’s July 13, 2026 proclamation. The proclamation covers the U.S. flag at the White House, public buildings and grounds, military posts, naval stations and federal naval vessels throughout the United States and its territories and possessions, as well as specified U.S. facilities abroad.
Wisconsin’s notice says the lowering begins immediately and ends at 6:00 p.m. on July 18. The documents reviewed do not specify an exact start clock time or the timezone for that end hour. Mast’s retained clock-time schedule remains unverified and this record is held for evidence review. No separate Wisconsin state-flag directive was verified.

Corrected the unsupported Governor Evers attribution to a presidential order posted by Wisconsin DMA, specified the proclamation’s coverage and added the linked presidential source. Preserved the original recorded times under an explicit evidence hold because the exact start and end-hour timezone are unverified.
