In accordance with the authority vested in me as Governor, I hereby order that the flags of the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Virginia are to be flown at half-staff on all state and local buildings and grounds in the Commonwealth in solemn memory and respect for the nearly 4,000 American service men and women killed or wounded in the early morning of December 7, 1941, at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
I hereby order that the flags shall be lowered at sunrise on Sunday, December 7, 2025, and remain at half-staff until sunset.
Ordered on this, the 5th day of December, 2025.
Sincerely, |

Quite appropriate for those who lost their lives!

I believe this is a great American thing to do. I’m so afraid things like this will never happen again when the new Governor takes office💔 This is really not what Southwest Virginians wanted in office. Just the big northern cities in Va that are liberal democrats.

We should honor all those affected on the attack on Pearl Harbor. We were dragged into World War 2 whether we wanted to or not. The Japanese learned a valuable lesson, never tangle with America. Ever.

I totally agree with him.

I agree. These heroes, men and women alike deserve the respect.
