Flags at Half-Staff

The Park Ridge Park District follows the Illinois Flag Display Act. We receive alerts from the Illinois Governor's office regarding when the flag is to fly at half-staff. One of these reasons is to honor every fallen Illinois soldier. When this occurs, we are to fly the American flag at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on the day of the funeral and the two days preceding that day.

More information and copies of the alerts we receive can be found by visiting the State of Illinois website.
