MADISON, Wis. — Gov. Tony Evers has ordered flags be flown at half-staff for Memorial Day. Wisconsinites are encouraged to do the same in honor of the nation’s fallen soldiers.
“Our service members exemplify great courage, selflessness, dedication, hard work, and determination, and we owe so much to the brave individuals who have given their lives in battle—they will forever be heroes,” Evers said. “On behalf of the state of Wisconsin, this Memorial Day, I share my heartfelt gratitude to the members of our nation’s armed forces, those who laid down their lives, and offer my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones they left behind.”
The order goes into effect at sunrise on Monday. Evers’ executive order is available online.
