Flags Lowered for Former Vice President Richard Cheney

Spokane, WALocal News

Spokane will lower flags to honor former Vice President Richard Cheney until his internment. The announcement was made at 11 a. m. on November 6, 2025. This decision reflects the city's respect for Cheney's service and contributions to the nation.

Residents are encouraged to participate in this gesture of respect, which aligns with similar tributes occurring nationwide. Cheney served as vice president from 2001 to 2009 and was a key figure in U. S. politics during that time. His tenure was marked by significant events, including the response to the September 11 attacks.

Lowering flags serves as a reminder of his impact on American policy and history. The city hopes this act will foster a sense of unity among residents during this period of mourning.
