President Donald J. Trump has ordered the United States flag to be flown at half-staff in honor of the late Dolly Parton.

The proclamation, issued on August 25, 2026, directs that flags be lowered at the White House, all public buildings and grounds, military posts, naval stations, and vessels across the United States, its territories, and possessions. The directive also applies globally to all U.S. embassies, consular offices, and military facilities abroad.

The flags will remain at half-staff until sunset on September 1, 2026, as a mark of respect for Parton’s memory and legacy.
