Salem, OR - Pursuant to the United States Flag Code, Governor Tina Kotek ordered flags at Oregon public institutions to be flown at half-staff Monday, May 25, 2026, from 12:01 am until noon, in honor of Memorial Day.

"Memorial Day is a responsibility to remember the human cost of war, to honor those who never came home, and to ensure their sacrifice is never forgotten," Governor Kotek said. "May we carry forward the memory of those who served - not only in ceremony, but in action. And may we continue building an Oregon, and a nation, worthy of the extraordinary sacrifice of those we honor today."
