Iowa Gov., Kim Reynolds, has ordered all flags to be flown at half-staff tomorrow (Saturday) in recognition of Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. Reynolds says, “For 78 years, Dec. 7 has lived in infamy, a time to grieve for the 2,403 service members and civilians who lost their lives that tragic day. On Dec. 7, we remember the lives lost, honor the sacrifices made, and once again fully reflect on the true cost of freedom.” The order lasts from sunrise to sunset Saturday, with flags to be lowered at the State Capital Building, on flag displays in the Capitol Complex and on all public buildings, grounds and facilities throughout the state. Individuals, businesses, schools, municipalities, counties and other government subdivisions are encouraged to fly the flag at half-staff for the same length of time as a sign of respect.
