Half-Staff Oregon Flags – Mark Hatfield
American Flags and Oregon Flags to fly at half-staff Monday August 8, 2011 through the date of interment, in honor of former Oregon Senator Mark O. Hatfield.
Governor Kitzhaber said, “No one has had a more profound impact on Oregon in the last half century than Mark Hatfield. We’ve lost a true statesman whose legacy lives on in his countless contributions to Oregon’s quality of life. Senator Hatfield’s moral compass, independence and willingness to reach across the aisle are an inspiration to me and countless Oregonians.”
