All flags flying with the US Flag should also be returned to full-staff.


November 4, 2025 - Former Vice President Richard Cheney died on Monday, November 3, 2025. The US Flag Code states that the US Flag is to be flown at half-staff from the day of death until interment (TBA) for a former Vice President. A Presidential Proclamation should follow shortly also.  

If you have others flying with the US Flag, they should be lowered also. If you have a flag that cannot be lowered, respect can be shown by tying a black rope or ribbon to the top of the staff.
