Governor directs flags to half staff thru July 25

Bismarck (CSi)   In accordance with Tuesday’s presidential proclamation, Gov. Jack Dalrymple is directing all government agencies to fly the United States and North Dakota flags at half-staff until sunset, July 25, 2015 in honor of the service members killed in Chattanooga, Tenn., last week.

Four Marines and a sailor were killed Thursday in attacks on two military sites in Chattanooga, Tennessee, that authorities have blamed on a 24-year-old Kuwait-born man.
“The tragedy that occurred in Chattanooga affects all Americans and is an attack on the very principles we hold dear in this country,” Dalrymple said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this horrific tragedy and with their families.”
