The Governor directs all flags to be flown at half-staff Tuesday, March 15 in honor of Army Corporal Frank Buckles.
President Barack Obama signed the proclamation as a mark of respect for the memory of Army Corporal Frank W. Buckles, the last surviving American veteran of World War I, and in remembrance of the generation of American veterans of World War I.
Buckles passed away last month at the age of 110 and will be laid to rest Tuesday at Arlington National Cemetery.
