In accordance with a presidential proclamation, Governor Mike Pence is directing flags at state facilities statewide to be flown at half-staff tomorrow in honor of Peace Officers Memorial Day, which honors federal, state and local officers killed or disabled in the line of duty. President Obama signed a proclamation ordering flags nationwide to be flown at half-staff on Friday, May 15. Flags should be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset tomorrow.
Governor Pence also asks businesses and residents to lower their flags to half-staff to pay tribute to the brave men and women in law enforcement across Indiana and our nation.
As mentioned in the Plymouth City Council meeting Monday, Plymouth Mayor Mark Senter said, “I would like to ask for city buildings and businesses to fly their flags at half-staff on Friday, May 15th to honor those police officers that have died in the line-of-duty.” This is National Peace Officers Memorial Day for 2015.
