The flag is at half-mast today as a mark of respect for the memory of Charlie Kirk. This is in accordance with a proclamation by the President of the United States, ordering all American flags throughout the U.S. to be flown at half- staff from September 10 to 14, 2025, to honor Charlie Kirk.
Flying a flag at half-mast is a traditional symbol of respect, mourning, or remembrance, often ordered after the death of a notable person or during a national day of mourning.
