Gov. Reynolds Orders Flags To Half-Staff In Honor Of U.S. Capitol Victims

Iowa Gov., Kim Reynolds, has ordered flags to be flown at half staff until sunset on Tuesday, April 6, in honor of the service and sacrifice of the victims of the attack at the U.S. Capitol on April 2. This order is issued in conjunction with that of President Joe Biden’s proclamation for all U.S. flags to be flown at half-staff for the same amount of time. “We mourn the loss of Capitol Police Officer William “Billy” Evans and I send my prayers and deepest condolences to his family, friends and loved ones who are left to grieve following this horrific act of violence,” say Reynolds. “The state of Iowa will never forget the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of law enforcement who willingly put themselves on the line to protect the innocent and uphold the rule of law.” Flags will be at half-staff at the State Capitol Building, on flag displays in the Capitol Complex and all public buildings, grounds and facilities throughout the state. Individuals, businesses, schools, municipalities, counties and other governmental subdivisions are encouraged to fly the flags at half-staff for the same length of time.
