As a mark of respect for the victims of yesterday’s tragic events at the Navy Yard, Washington, DC, President Obama has directed that flags be flown at half-staff effective immediately and ending at sunset September 20, 2013, per Federal Code PL 94-344 and Presidential Order, the Vermont State House, all Federal and State Facilities around the state and public buildings and grounds around the state.
Which flags will be lowered:
The U.S flag, Vermont State flag, POW flags, and any other flags **
Date the flags are to be lowered:
Immediately, Tuesday, September 17, 2013
Date the flags are to return to full staff:
Sunset, September 20, 2013
** Please note all flags must fly at half-staff for that period of time.
Rule: When the U.S. flag is lowered, the Vermont flag, the POW flag, and any other flag must also be lowered, because the U.S. flag must always fly above or equal to any other flags that are flown.
