Governor Markell Orders Flags Lowered

DOVER – On Tuesday, President Obama ordered American flags at all U.S. government buildings and facilities be flown at half-staff until sunset on July 25, 2015, “as a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on July 16, 2015, in Chattanooga, Tennessee.” In concurrence with the President’s order and as an expression of Delaware’s sympathy for the people affected by the tragedy in Chattanooga, Governor Markell has ordered the American and Delaware flags at state buildings and facilities also be flown at half-staff until the end of the day on July 25, 2015.
