Following the lead of Texas, Governor Mark Gordon on Wednesday ordered both the U.S and Wyoming flags to be raised to full staff at the Capitol and all state buildings from sunrise to sunset on Monday, January 20, 2025, to recognize the Inauguration of President Donald Trump.
Monday’s national event will the 60th Presidential Inauguration.
The flags have been flying at half-staff since the death of former President Jimmy Carter at the end of December at the order of President Joe Biden.
“It is correct for our country to celebrate the inauguration of a new president and honor it with our flags flying high, just as we should continue to honor the life and legacy of President Carter by returning them to half-staff on January 21. Both actions mark our respect and reverence for the importance of these times,” Governor Gordon said.
Flags will be lowered again to half-staff from sunrise January 21, 2025, to sunset January 28, 2025, in remembrance of President Jimmy Carter.
