Flags are being lowered today and this weekend to honor fallen service members overseas and mark the deaths of public officials.

Gov. Abigail D. Spanberger ordered flags to be flown at half-staff across Virginia on Saturday, March 7, 2026. The order honors the memory and service of Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr.

These orders signal statewide periods of mourning and public tribute, honoring individuals who held significant roles.
