Gov. Steve Beshear has directed that flags at all state
office buildings be displayed at half-staff until noon on Monday in
observance of Memorial Day.
“Memorial Day is a time for Kentuckians and all Americans to honor those
military men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice,” Beshear
said in a statement. “On Monday, I urge you to take a moment and give
thanks to the service members who sacrificed their lives for our
freedoms and also recognize those who are still serving our country both
at home and abroad.”
Beshear encourages individuals, businesses, organizations and government agencies to join in this tribute.
