Hawaiʻi to lower flags to honor former Gov. George Ariyoshi
Hawaiʻi is lowering flags statewide to mourn former Governor George Ariyoshi, who died in April at age 100, a respectful send-off for a long-serving public figure.
- Flags will fly at half-staff from sunrise tomorrow through sunrise Tuesday.
- Governor Green called it a way to thank Ariyoshi for his public service and lasting contributions to the state.
- A public memorial service will be held tomorrow evening at the State Capitol rotunda in Honolulu, with visitation continuing into the next day.
- Expect brief road closures near the Capitol during the honor guard procession and motorcade.
Outlook: Memorial events wrap up early next week, with minor traffic disruptions around the Capitol in the meantime.
