VIRGINIA FLAG

VIRGINIA - Governor Glenn Youngkin has ordered the lowering of all U.S. and Commonwealth of Virginia flags to half-staff in memory of those lost to fentanyl poisoning. 

Flags at all state and local buildings and grounds in Virginia are instructed to lower the flags today, May 9t, in memory of victims and families.

Today is National Fentanyl Awareness Day.

The order comes on the heels of Delaware Governor John Carney ordering the lowering of Delaware flags in light of the recent mall shooting in Allen, Texas.
