Cheyenne, Wyo. - In order to recognize the inauguration of President Donald Trump on Monday January 20, Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon has ordered both the U.S and Wyoming flags to be raised to full staff.

The order applies to the state capitol and all other state buildings from sunrise to sunset on January 20, 2025. Flags will be lowered again to half-staff from sunrise January 21, 2025, to sunset January 28, 2025, in remembrance of President Jimmy Carter.

"It is correct for our country to celebrate the inauguration of a new president and honor it with our flags flying high, just as we should continue to honor the life and legacy of President Carter by returning them to half-staff on January 21. Both actions mark our respect and reverence for the importance of these times," Governor Gordon said.

Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen has issued a similar order as well.

"The official installation of a President is a historic day in the calendar of our nation and should be recognized as such," said Gov. Pillen. "Having the flag at full staff symbolizes the respect to that office and our nation's newly elected leader."
