President Obama has issued a proclamation ordering the lowering of flags on
all public buildings and grounds to half-staff for the entire day tomorrow,
Wednesday, April 15, 2015, in remembrance of President Abraham Lincoln.
Governor Maggie Hassan issued the following statement:
“There has been no greater defender of our American Union than President
Abraham Lincoln, who advanced the vision of our Founding Fathers that
equality is essential to the strength of our democracy and the future our
great nation. President Lincoln understood that there is a cause greater
than any one of us – our country – and he believed in the strength and
promise of future generations of Americans. One hundred fifty years later,
President Lincoln remains an inspiration to people across the United States
and around the world, and the legacy of his leadership will continue to
endure for generations to come.”
