ST. PAUL, MN - Governor Tim Walz has ordered all United States and Minnesota flags to fly at half-staff at all state buildings in the State of Minnesota, from sunrise until noon on Monday, May 26, 2025, in honor of those who have died while serving in the United States military.

“On Memorial Day we honor the brave service members who have given their lives for our great nation,” said Governor Walz. “The sacrifice of those who defend our freedom and democracy cannot be repaid; as we work toward peace, let us never forget those who have served on our behalf.”

Individuals, businesses, and other organizations are also encouraged to join in lowering their flags.
