TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered flags to be flown on half-staff Monday in honor of Memorial Day.
In a Friday proclamation, DeSantis said he would order all flags at “local and state buildings, installations, and grounds” to fly half-staff.
“On Memorial Day, we honor the heroes of the United States armed forces who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country,” DeSantis said. “May we never forget the selfless bravery of the men and women who laid down their lives to protect their fellow citizens. Our hearts are heavy with gratitude for their unwavering commitment to protecting this nation’s highest ideal of freedom in the face of grave danger.”
Flags will stay half-staff from sunrise Monday to noon.
