Des Moines, Iowa — Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has ordered all flags in the state to be lowered to half-staff through sunset May 30th.
Reynolds’ half-staff order is in honor and remembrance of the victims in the shooting at a rail yard in San Jose, California which occurred on Wednesday.
The governor’s order is issued in conjunction with President Joe Biden’s proclamation to lower all United States flags to half-staff for the same length of time.
Flags will be at half-staff on the State Capitol Building and on flag displays in the Capitol Complex. Flags will also be half-staff on all public buildings, grounds and facilities throughout the state.
Individuals, businesses, schools, municipalities, counties and other government subdivisions are encouraged to fly the flags at half-staff for the same length of time.
