As per the message below, flags should return to full staff at sunset on
January 25. The first full day at full staff is January 26. An earlier
communication was incorrect.
Sorry for any confusion.

Name of person being honored/Reason to Lower Flag(s):
Former President Gerald R. Ford died Tuesday, December 26, 2006. Ford was
the thirty-eighth President from 1974 - 1977. All flags will be lowered to
half staff for a 30 day period ending on Thursday, January 25, 2007 at
sunset.
** Please note all flags must fly at half-staff for that period of
time. Rule:
When the U.S. flag is lowered, the Vermont flag, the POW flag, and any other
flag must also be lowered, because the U.S. flag must always fly above or
equal to any other flags that are flown.
