(KNSI) – Minnesota will honor the brave men and women who died on the battlefield and helped preserve our freedom by lowering the flag.
Governor Tim Walz has ordered the Stars and Stripes and state flags to fly at half-staff at all government buildings in Minnesota from sunrise until noon on Monday.
“Memorial Day serves as a day of remembrance for people to gather for one purpose: to remember our fallen, pay homage to their sacrifice and courage, and recognize the selflessness of military service,” reads the proclamation issued by Governor Walz. “We honor those today who made the ultimate sacrifice for this great nation.”
Individuals, businesses, and other organizations are also encouraged to join in lowering their flags.
