White House Lowers Flags for Nancy Reagan

President Barack Obama has ordered flags flown at half-staff in memory of former first-lady Nancy Reagan. 

The White House released a proclamation Monday directing all federal buildings, embassies, military posts and navy vessels to lower flags to half-staff “as a mark of respect for Reagan. 

Flags will remain at half-staff until sunset on the day she is buried alongside her husband at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. 

Reagan died Sunday at her home in Los Angeles. She was 94.
