Flags at half-staff in honor of Pulse Remembrance Day

Press release from the Office of Governor Ron DeSantis

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, Governor Ron DeSantis released a memorandum ordering that flags be flown at half-staff on June 12 in honor of Pulse Remembrance Day.

Ten years ago, on June 12, 2016, a shooter claiming alliance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant committed a horrific act of terrorism at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida, where forty-nine people were killed and fifty-three were wounded. Accordingly, in remembrance, I hereby direct the flags of the United States and the State of Florida to be flown at half-staff at all local and state buildings, installations, and grounds throughout the State of Florida from sunrise to sunset on Friday, June 12, 2026.
