Gov. Stitt Orders Flags Flown at Half-Staff on 25th Anniversary of September 11 Attacks

OKLAHOMA CITY (September 10, 2026) - Governor Kevin Stitt today issued Executive Order 2026-34, directing that the American flag, Oklahoma flag and Freedom flags on state property be flown at half-staff on Friday, September 11, 2026, in remembrance of the victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

“Twenty-five years later, September 11 remains a day of profound grief, but it is also a reminder of the strength displayed by everyday heroes from around our nation,” said Governor Stitt. “We remember the innocent lives taken from their families, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the men and women in uniform who have defended our freedom in the years since. Oklahoma stands with every family affected by this tragedy and with all those who continue to serve our nation.”

Oklahoma will never forget the help New York first responders gave our state after the Oklahoma City bombing. And after September 11, Oklahoma first responders went to Ground Zero to stand alongside the people of New York. That bond reminds us that, even in our darkest moments, Americans show up for one another.

The Governor’s order directs the Division of Capital Assets Management to implement the half-staff directive across appropriate agencies of state government.
