Doug LaMalfa Half-Staff Observance, January 2026 (Archive)

Historical — this observance has ended. This archive entry is not an instruction to lower flags today.

Official notice date: January 7, 2026. Reason: remembrance of U.S. Representative Doug LaMalfa of California.

What the official notices confirm

On January 7, 2026, Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen announced that U.S. and state flags would be lowered in accordance with a directive from President Donald Trump, honoring Congressman Doug LaMalfa. The Nebraska notice set the end of the observance at sunset that evening.

Hawaii Governor Josh Green issued a separate notice the same day. It expressly attributed the action to the President and ordered the U.S. and Hawaii flags lowered at the State Capitol, state offices and agencies, and Hawaii National Guard facilities until sunset on January 7, 2026.

Presidential directive and state implementation

These are official state notices corroborating a presidential instruction. Their state-flag requirements and lists of state facilities describe their own implementation; they are not reproduced here as the complete nationwide wording of a presidential proclamation. Neither notice supplies an exact start time or a universal time zone, so none is inferred.

About this historical entry

The displayed post date follows the January 7 date on the corroborating official notices; it is not a verified presidential issuance date. FORTISVEX prepared and reviewed this entry on October 26, 2026 and did not originally publish it on January 7.

This entry supplements the archive covering January 20, 2025 through October 25, 2026. It does not establish that every presidential flag directive has been located. Consult a current official federal or state notice before changing today’s flag display.
