Flags Lowered for Senator Graham | Mesa News
Description
President Trump ordered flags lowered to half-staff across the nation, including Arizona, beginning Sunday, July 12th, in honor of Senator Lindsey Graham, who died suddenly from a tear in his main artery on July 11th. The flags will remain at half-staff through Saturday, July 18th — a seven-day tribute — reflecting the president’s authority to extend mourning periods for members of Congress. While “half-mast” is reserved for naval settings, “half-staff” is standard for land-based government displays. Though Arizona’s governor can also issue such orders, this one came directly from the White House, underscoring the national significance of Graham’s service.
