Why Is the Flag Flying at Half Staff?




Please be advised that Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker, in accordance with United States Public Law 107-89, has ordered that the United States of America flag and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts flag be lowered to half-staff at all state buildings on Friday, September 11, 2020 in observance of Patriot Day, “in honor of the individuals who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 and the Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed.”  The United States of America flag and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts flag shall be flown at half-staff from sunrise until sunset.

This order shall be observed concurrent with the existing Commonwealth of Massachusetts half-staff notification issued in honor of Patriot Day, September 11, 2020.  The United States of America flag and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts flag shall be flown at half-staff from sunrise until sunset on this day.
