Official Release
In accordance with the presidential proclamation, I am directing flags to be displayed at half- staff as a mark of respect for the U.S. service members and other victims killed in the terrorist attack today, August 26, 2021, in Kabul, Afghanistan.
The state of Alabama joins our fellow Americans and allies in mourning the loss of our American patriots and the brave other victims in Afghanistan. We pray for their loved ones to be comforted during their time of grieving, those injured in the attack and for all of our service members, citizens and cohorts to make it home safely. The sacrifice of those we lost today and in the years before is not in vain, and our support remains steadfast for the U.S. Armed Forces.
Flags should be flown at half-staff until sunset on Monday, August 30, 2021.
