Kansas Orders Flags Lowered for Dick Cheney as States Expand Official Mourning

State directives remain in place until a yet-unscheduled interment.

Overview

  • Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly on Nov. 4 ordered flags statewide flown at half-staff to honor former Vice President Dick Cheney.
  • Kelly’s directive keeps flags lowered until sundown on the day Cheney is buried.
  • Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear directed flags at state buildings to remain at half-staff until interment and encouraged public participation.
  • Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin ordered flags at half-staff on Nov. 4, citing a presidential proclamation from President Donald Trump that had not been posted by the White House at the time.
  • Funeral and interment arrangements have not been announced, and Cheney was 84 and served as vice president from 2001 to 2009.
