Flags to be Lowered to Half Staff

Per Federal Code P.L. 94-344 and Presidential Proclamation

Where the flags will be lowered:

The Vermont State House, all Federal and State Facilities around the state and public buildings and grounds around the state.

Which flags will be lowered:

The U.S flag, Vermont State flag, POW flags, and any other flags *

Date the flags are to be lowered:

At sunrise on Friday, August 31, 2012

Date the flags are to return to full staff:

At sunset on Friday, August 31, 2012

Reason to lower flag(s):

As a mark of respect for the memory of Neil Armstrong, President Obama has ordered that on the day of his interment, the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds

          *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.

When a U.S. Flag is to be lowered to half-staff, it must first be raised to full staff and then lowered to half-staff.
