## Resource

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer ordered flags to fly at half-staff to honor firefighter Emily Barker, one of three heroes killed battling the Knowles Fire in Colorado. A memorial visitation and full honors service are planned, with the family asking for donations to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. Meanwhile, President Trump lowered flags nationwide to honor Senator Lindsey Graham, with proper flag protocol observed — including the ceremonial raise to peak before half-staff — and flags set to return to full-staff by July 15th.
