By a joint resolution approved by Congress on 12/18/2001 (Public Law 107-89), September 11th of each year has been designated as “Patriot Day.” This law also directs flags be lowered to half-staff on September 11th.
In concurrence with this joint resolution, the U.S. and Delaware flags at state buildings and facilities are to be flown at half-staff on Sunday, September 11, 2022.
Flags are currently at half-staff in remembrance of Queen Elizabeth II and in accordance with a Presidential Proclamation. Flags are to remain lowered until sunset on Monday, September 19, 2022, the date of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. Flags should be returned to full staff at the start of businesses on Tuesday, September 20, 2022.
