Lowering the U.S. flag to half staff honors deceased political figures and military personnel and first responders who died in the line of duty.

Friday has been declared Hulk Hogan Day in Florida. As such, Gov. Ron DeSantis has ordered state and U.S. flags to be flown at half-staff to honor the legendary wrestler. Hogan, who was born Terry Gene Bollea, died of a heart attack last week at age 71. Hogan lived in Florida most of his life. His final residence was in Clearwater.

To honor the life and legacy of Tampa Bay’s most famous celebrity, DeSantis has declared Aug. 1 as “Hulk Hogan Day in Florida.”
