The memorandum emphasizes the importance of honoring the heroes of the United States armed forces who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. "May we never forget the selfless bravery of the men and women who laid down their lives to protect their fellow citizens," it states. The message conveys deep gratitude for these individuals' unwavering commitment to protecting the nation's highest ideal of freedom in the face of grave danger.
Governor DeSantis has directed that on Memorial Day, flags of both the United States and the State of Florida be flown at half-staff at all local and state buildings, installations, and grounds throughout Florida from sunrise until noon on Monday, May 27, 2024.
