Delaware Flags Lowered to Honor Former Lawmakers Bunting, Viola, and Rev. Jackson

WILMINGTON — Delaware Governor Matt Meyer has issued an order directing all state government buildings and facilities to lower their flags to half-staff this week in tribute to two former Delaware lawmakers who died recently.

The flag directive honors George Bunting and John Viola, both former members of the Delaware General Assembly who passed away within the past week. The governor’s order also calls for flags to be lowered in memory of Rev. Jesse Jackson, recognizing his lifetime of service and impact.

State facilities across Delaware will display flags at half-staff as a mark of respect for the three individuals and their contributions to public service and community leadership.
