US flags ordered to fly at half-staff in 8 states today, this weekend

Flags have been ordered to fly at half-staff in eight states on Friday and this weekend in honor of fallen service members and political figures.

The orders are taking place in Virginia, South Dakota, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Colorado and Pennsylvania.

Why It Matters

Half-staff observances signify periods of mourning to honor individuals who died in the line of duty or rendered distinguished public service.

Recent orders have largely recognized military personnel who have died in the Middle East during the ongoing U.S. Operation Epic Fury against Iran.
