President Obama has issued a proclamation ordering the lowering of flags on all public buildings and grounds to half-staff immediately and until sunset, Saturday, July 25, in honor of the United States Marines and the Naval sailor killed last week in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Governor Maggie Hassan issued the following statement when directing flags to half-staff on Friday, July 17:

"Our service members, at home and abroad, sacrifice every day in defense of the freedoms and values that we hold dear. Yesterday's shootings in Chattanooga were a senseless act of violence that took four American heroes from us far too soon. I join Granite Staters and Americans everywhere in sending our thoughts and prayers to the families and loved ones of the Marines and the Naval sailor we lost, as well as those in Chattanooga and communities across the country as we continue to mourn."
