Gov. Brown orders flags to half-staff in Bush’s honor

Gov. Kate Brown on Saturday ordered all flags at Oregon public institutions to be flown at half-staff in honor of Former President George H.W. Bush.

In accordance with the proclamation by the White House and pursuant to U.S. Code (4 U.S.C. 7m), the flags should be flown at half-staff beginning immediately for 30 days.

“George H.W. Bush legacy is one of true patriotism and service,” Brown said in a statement. “Emblematic of the greatest generation, after fighting in WWII, he never stopped serving our country. Dan and I hold his family in our hearts as we mourn his passing.”
