The U.S. flag is flown at half-staff Dec. 8, 2021, as part of a nationwide order to pay tribute to the life and service of former U.S. Senator Bob Dole, who was also a World War II Army veteran. Dole died in early December 2021 at the age of 98. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, an easy way to remember when to fly the United States flag at half-staff is to consider when the whole nation is in mourning. These periods of mourning are proclaimed either by the president of the United States, for national remembrance, or the governor of a state or territory, for local remembrance, in the event of a death of a member or former member of the federal, state, or territorial government or judiciary. The heads of departments and agencies of the federal government may also order that the flag be flown at half-staff on buildings, grounds, and naval vessels under their jurisdiction.
