ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Governor Wes Moore today ordered the United States Flag and Maryland Flag to be lowered in memory of Firefighter Brice C. Trossbach, who died in the line of duty on Tuesday, June 27 in St. Mary’s County. The flags will be lowered until sunset on the day of interment.
“My prayers are with the Trossbach family and the Naval District Washington Fire Department. Firefighter Trossbach’s legacy will remain in our hearts,” said Gov. Moore. “Today and everyday, we honor Firefighter Trossbach and his service to Maryland.”
Trossbach was a firefighter with the Naval District Washington Fire Department at Naval Air Station Patuxent River.
You realize the the governor does not have the authority to lower the American flag. Only the president can order that.
Section 7. m. of the Flag Code authorizes Governors to order the US Flag flown at half-staff in his/her state.
State property the governor can but only president can for federal property.
You realize that if you said that in person and not being a keyboard warrior; you’d have a windmill of hands coming down on your face. Stfu and have some respect. Someone lost their life.
A firefighter lost his life battling a house fire. Could be your house next. Show some respect
You realize this was a firefighter who showed up to try to save someone’s home and someone’s life and lost his own in the process. Could be your house and your life next and a firefighter will come to save you risking his own life. Show some respect and decency. Some people are disgusting!
