Why does the Governor order the flags down for a fireman or a policeman who die in the line of duty?
The Governor of the State may decide to lower the flags to commemorate the death of a personage of national or state standing or of a local serviceman, official, or public servant who, in the opinion of the local agency concerned, contributed to the community. It may also be flown at half-staff during special periods of mourning designated by the President of the United States or the Governor of this state.
