The orders are taking place in Virginia, South Dakota, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Colorado and Pennsylvania.
Gov. Ned Lamont ordered the U.S. and state flags to fly at half-staff at state buildings at least a dozen times in 2025.
Flags are being lowered today and this weekend to honor fallen service members overseas and mark the deaths of public officials.
These orders signal statewide periods of mourning and public tribute, honoring individuals who held significant roles.
