ST. PAUL, Minn. — Gov. Tim Walz has ordered all United States and Minnesota flags at state buildings to be flown at half-staff in honor of former Vice President Dick Cheney, who passed away on November 3.

“Former Vice President Cheney devoted decades to public service, holding a variety of roles throughout his career and redefining the role of Vice President,” Walz said. “Gwen and I extend our deepest condolences to the Cheney family and all who are mourning his passing.”

The governor encourages individuals, businesses, and other organizations to lower their flags as well. Flags will remain at half-staff until sunset on the day of Cheney's internment.
