LOWERING THE FLAG THIS COMING SUNDAY:
The law requires the American flag be lowered in tribute on only a few days each year. One of these days is the observance of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service.
On October 16, 2001, President Bush approved legislation requiring the American flag to be lowered to half-staff on all Federal buildings to memorialize fallen firefighters. Public Law 107-51 requires this action to occur annually in conjunction with observance of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service.
Johnson City Fire Department Flags will be lowered to half-staff on Sunday, October 5, 2008 in honor of all Fallen Firefighters
