Flags will fly at half-staff in Colorado from sunrise to sunset for 30 days.
On Monday, Gov. Jared Polis, as directed by President Joe Biden, ordered all American and Colorado flags to fly half-staff from the start of former President Jimmy Carter’s passing on Sunday.
According to a proclamation signed by then-President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954, because Carter was a former president, flags are to remain at half-staff for 30 days from the day of Carter’s death.
