Flags Fly at Half-Staff Through Veterans Day

Friday, November 6

On Friday, Nov. 6, President Obama ordered flags to fly at half-staff to honor the 13 people killed on a Texas army base, but urged Americans not to jump to conclusions about why the attack occurred.

"From now until Veterans Day, I ordered the flags at the White House and other federal buildings to be flown at half-staff," Obama said, referring to Nov. 11 when the nation remembers those killed in wartime.

The State of Idaho will follow the same guidance as the presidential statement for the state Capitol Mall and all state-owned buildings.
