House Speaker Mike Johnson recently made an announcement regarding the flag protocol at the Capitol on Inauguration Day. According to Johnson, the flags will be flown at full staff on January 20th to mark the inauguration of the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump. This decision reflects the unity of the country as it comes together to support the new administration.
Following the Inauguration Day celebrations, the flags will then be lowered to half-staff the next day as a continued gesture of respect and honor for former President Jimmy Carter. This decision underscores the importance of recognizing and paying tribute to the contributions and legacy of past leaders.
