Governor Kathy Hochul has directed flags, including the 9/11 Memorial Flag at the State Capitol and Empire State Plaza in Albany, to be flown at half-staff until sunset. Shown here are flags flying at half-staff during a ceremony in remembrance of four New York State Police Troop T members who lost their lives to 9/11-related illnesses and more than 200 Thruway employees who supported recovery and cleanup efforts at Ground Zero in the days and weeks following the attacks.
