Flags at Half-Staff for Dolly Parton
August 25, 2026 – September 1, 2026
President Donald Trump ordered American flags to be lowered to half-staff to honor country music legend Dolly Parton, who died Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at age 80 after a brief battle with cancer. Parton rose from humble beginnings to become one of the greatest country singers and far beyond, known for her immense contributions to entertainment and her generous charitable legacy through the Imagination Library and other philanthropic endeavors. The flags will remain at half-staff for one week to honor her legacy as an iconic singer, songwriter, and philanthropist.
Flag protocol
Hoist the flag to the peak for an instant and then lower it to the half-staff position, raising it to the peak again before it is lowered for the day.
