I, Brad Henry, Governor of the State of Oklahoma, in recognition of Patriot Day, hereby direct the appropriate steps be taken to fly all American and Oklahoma flags on State property at half-staff from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 11, 2010, to honor the many innocent people who perished on September 11, 2001.
On that day, more than 3,000 people lost their lives in New York City, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania. The flying of the flags at half-staff reflects that Oklahomans remember those killed and demonstrates our sympathy for their families.
This executive order shall be forwarded to the Director of Central Services who shall cause the provisions of this order to be implemented by all appropriate agencies of state government.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma to be affixed at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, this 10th day of September, 2010.
BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA
Brad Henry
