Governor Perdue has ordered that all United States and North Carolina flags at state facilities be flown at half staff on Sunday, September 11, in recognition of Patriot Day, which President Obama is expected to declare as a National Day of Service and Remembrance. Flags are to be lowered to half staff from the time that they are normally raised until the close of day, then returned to full staff on Monday, September 12.

All employees of the Department of Administration join Governor Perdue and me in honoring the innocent who lost their lives that day and the selfless efforts of those who continue to protect our freedom at home and abroad.

For flag information, contact DOA Communications Director Jill Warren Lucas at jill.lucas@doa.nc.gov or 919-807-2496. To join the North Carolina Flag Alert list serve, visit http://lists.ncmail.net/mailman/listinfo/flag.alerts.
