People may see the American Flag flying at half-staff early this week and could wonder why.
According to Burlington’s Veterans Services office, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker has ordered that the United States of America flag and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts flag be lowered to half-staff from sunrise until sunset at all state buildings on Tuesday, July 13, the day of funeral services, in honor of Sergeant MacDouglas J. Deegan, United States Army, of Quincy , who passed away on June 29.
The order applies to American Flags on the main or administration building of each public institution of the Commonwealth, e.g. town and city halls, other state-owned or state-controlled buildings, and all military installations.
