Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has issued an executive order to lower flags to half-staff at all state buildings and grounds in honor of the late former President and Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter. The order, issued on December 29, 2024, marks the date of Carter's passing and pays tribute to his legacy as a distinguished community activist, veteran, statesman, author, former Governor of Georgia, and former President of the United States.
The flags will remain at half-staff for a period of 30 days, until sunset on January 28, 2025, as per the executive order. This gesture serves as a solemn recognition of Carter's significant contributions to the state of Georgia and the nation as a whole.
