Flags at Half-Staff for Senator Graham | Des Moines News

Flags across the nation are flying at half-staff in honor of Senator Lindsey Graham, who passed away at 71, with President Trump calling him a dear friend and praising his lifelong service. The national directive extends mourning to July 18th, overlapping with Iowa’s existing half-staff tribute for Air Force Major Brad Hovey, whose death in June is now also honored. Graham, a staunch Trump ally, died from a ruptured artery linked to cardiovascular disease — a somber reminder of the nation’s loss and the enduring tradition of lowering flags to honor fallen leaders.
