In accordance with a proclamation from President Barack Obama directing flags to beÃÂ lowered to honor the victims of the attack in Nice, Franc, Governor Dannel P. Malloy announced that US and state flags in Connecticut will fly at half-staff beginning immediately until sunset on July 19, 2016.
Accordingly, since no flag should fly higher than the US flag, all state, local, municipal, corporate, and other flags should also be lowered during this same duration of time.
President Obama has ordered flags lowered, from 5 pm Sunday until sunset Thursday, June 16, to honor those killed at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida, during the early hours of June 12.
