President Joe Biden on Sunday issued a proclamation on Carter’s death, ordering American flags to be flown at half-mast for 30 days.
He also marked Jan. 9, 2025, as a National Day of Mourning.
All Postal Service facilities should fly the U.S. flag at half-staff to honor former President Jimmy Carter, who died Dec. 29.
Flags should be flown at half-staff until sunset Wednesday, Jan. 29.
To fly the flag at half-staff, hoist the flag to the peak for an instant and then lower it to the half-staff position. The flag should be raised to the peak again before it’s lowered for the day.
For additional information, refer to the Postal Service’s guidelines on U.S. flag display and maintenance.
