Governor Kate Brown has ordered all flags at public institutions in Oregon to be flown at half-staff on Saturday, in honor of National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
Brown said “We benefit every day from the bravery and sacrifice of our U.S. service members, and especially owe a debt of gratitude to the men and women who served and gave their lives in World War II”. She continued: “I encourage all Oregonians to take a moment to reflect on that sacrifice and express gratitude for the freedoms their fellow Americans have ensured through their service”.
The White House also issued a national flag order with a full presidential proclamation.
