Governor Laura Kelly, through executive order, has directed flags throughout Kansas be flown at half-staff from sunup to sundown Sunday in recognition of National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Day.
Kelly, in a release, calls first responders “the backbone of our communities,” saying they work selflessly to keep Kansans safe day in and day out, and that the day is a time to recognize firefighters’ essential work and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the state.
