Governor Beshear Orders Flags to Half-staff in honor of Tucson victims
FRANKFORT, Ky. – Gov. Steve Beshear has directed that flags at all state office buildings be lowered to half-staff from Monday, Jan. 10 to Friday Jan. 14, 2010 in honor of the victims in Saturday’s Tucson, Ariz. shooting tragedy.
“Saturday’s senseless act of violence is truly unthinkable and its repercussions have affected not only the citizens of Arizona, but this entire nation,” said Gov. Beshear. “I ask that Kentuckians join with me in honoring and praying for the victims, their friends and families.”
Gov. Beshear encourages individuals, businesses, organizations and government agencies to join in this tribute.
