Flag Status

The U.S. President and Idaho Governor have the authority to order U.S. and State of Idaho flags to be flown at half-staff within the State of Idaho for certain occasions.

*Governor Brad Little announced today he is directing U.S. and State of Idaho flags to be flown at half-staff on Monday, May 26, 2025, from sunrise until noon in observance of Memorial Day, at the state capitol building and at other state and local government buildings, to honor and mourn all the brave heroes who have died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. 

“We set aside Memorial Day to honor America’s defenders – the ones who have earned and deserve our reverence, recognition, and respect. Let’s all commit ourselves to making sure this generation – and every one after it – honors those who serve in the military forces, especially those who have paid the ultimate price. The future of our country depends on it,” Governor Little said. 

As is customary for this holiday, flags are lowered throughout the morning and then raised to full-staff at noon for the remainder of the day.
