Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad has ordered all flags in Iowa be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset Monday, Feb. 15, 2016, in honor of former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
Justice Scalia died Saturday, Feb. 13 in his sleep.
“Chris and I wish to extend our deepest condolences to the family of Justice Scalia. He was a brilliant constitutional scholar that adhered to the original intent that the founding fathers had for our U.S. Constitution. I appreciate his 30 year service to our nation’s highest court,” said Branstad.
This order applies to all U.S. and state flags under control of the state.
