HARTFORD, Conn. (WTIC Radio) - U.S. and state flags in Connecticut are being directed to be lowered to half-staff from sunrise until noon on Monday, May 26, 2025, in observance of Memorial Day to honor and mourn all military personnel who have died while serving the U.S. Armed Forces.
As is customary and unique for this holiday, flags are lowered in the morning and then raised to full-staff promptly at noon, where they remain for the remainder of the day.
The Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge, which carries I-95 across the Quinnipiac River in New Haven, and the parking structure at the Stamford Transportation Center will be illuminated in red, white, and blue lights each night this holiday weekend, beginning on the evening of Friday, May 23, and continuing through the evening of Monday, May 26.
“Our nation’s service members put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms and liberties that make this country the greatest in the world, and we honor and pay tribute to all of the fallen heroes,” Governor Lamont said in a release.
