JACKSON, MISS– Governor Phil Bryant has released an executive order for the flag to be lowered to half-staff.
State and US flags are being lowered in honor of the four United States Marines and the Navy Petty Officer killed by an attack on two military facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
“The men and women who defend this country are under attack. Just last week, five American heroes were killed in a deliberate act of violence. This is a small way Mississippi can honor those who died. The thoughts and prayers of the good people of this state remain with the families of the fallen,” Gov. Phil Bryant said.
The flags will be lowered from noon today until after sunset tomorrow.
