Governor Lamont: Flags Lowered To Half-Staff in Remembrance of the Victims of the Tragedy in Atlanta
(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today announced that – in accordance with a proclamation from President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. directing flags to be lowered throughout the country as a mark of solemn respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on March 16 in the Atlanta metropolitan area – he is directing U.S. and state flags in Connecticut to fly at half-staff beginning immediately until sunset on Monday, March 22, 2021.
Accordingly, since no flag should fly higher than the U.S. flag, all other flags, including state, municipal, corporate, or otherwise, should also be lowered during this same duration of time.
