ST. PAUL, Minn. — Governor Tim Walz ordered flags at state facilities to half-staff for Memorial Day. The governor said: “Please take a moment to reflect on and honor the spirit, bravery, and perseverance of the generations of armed-forces members and their families who made the ultimate sacrifice. As we strive and work for world peace, let us hold all who have served on our behalf close to our hearts.”
