| On October 16, 2001, President George W. Bush approved legislation requiring the American flag to be lowered to half-staff on all Federal buildings to memorialize fallen firefighters. Public Law 107-51 requires this action to occur annually in conjunction with observance of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service.
Encourage your local community to follow the Federal Government's example. When you lower your flag this year, you will recognize the brave men and women who died in the Line of Duty. |
