Flags across Alabama were lowered on November 5, 2025, in honor of former Vice President Richard “Dick” Cheney. Governor Kay Ivey issued a memorandum directing that flags be flown at half-staff to pay tribute to Cheney’s service.

The directive from the governor was part of a broader recognition of Cheney’s contributions as vice president and his impact on national affairs.

Governor Ivey stated, "In accordance with the order from my office, all flags in Alabama will be flown at half-staff today to honor the life and legacy of former Vice President Richard 'Dick' Cheney."

This action aligns with standard protocol for honoring prominent national figures who have served in high office.
