Flags are being lowered across Ohio in honor of former President Jimmy Carter, who recently passed away. Governor Mike DeWine has issued an order for flags to be raised on Jan. 20 for Inauguration Day when Donald Trump takes office, and then lowered again at all public buildings and grounds on Jan. 21 until sunset on Jan. 28.
President Carter’s death has led to a state-wide mourning and a tribute to his leadership and service. As a mark of respect, flags will be flown at half-mast during this period to honor his memory.
In a gesture of continuity and respect for the office of the presidency, the lowering and raising of flags coincide with the transition of power from one administration to another. This symbolic act serves as a reminder of the importance and solemnity of the presidential office and the legacy of those who have held it.
Ohioans are encouraged to take a moment to reflect on President Carter’s legacy and contributions to the country during this time of remembrance. The honoring of his memory through the lowering of flags demonstrates the state’s gratitude for his service and dedication to the nation.
As Ohio pays its respects to President Carter, the lowered flags serve as a visible symbol of mourning and tribute to a leader who left a lasting impact on the nation.
