In recognition of the Day of Remembrance for President Abraham Lincoln, Governor Pat McCrory ordered U.S. and North Carolina flags lowered to half-staff on state facilities from sunrise to sunset on April 15, 2015, which is 150 years after his death.
“President Lincoln transformed our nation and changed world history for the betterment of mankind,” Governor McCrory said. “His assassination is a reminder that great deeds often require the ultimate sacrifice.”
