flag should be displayed at half-staff until noon only, then 
raised to the top of the staff. By order of the Governor, the 
flag shall be flown at half-staff upon the death of a present

the Armed Forces who dies while serving on active duty, the 
death of a first responder who dies while serving in the line 
of duty, or any other death or occurrence that the Governor

the greatest length of time enumerated in Section 7 of the 
United States Flag Code. For the purposes of this Section, 
"half-staff" means the position of the flag when it is 
one-half the distance between the top and bottom of the staff.
