An Act relating to the Honor and Remember Flag and the Honor and Sacrifice Flag.
This bill designates two official state flags in Alaska to honor the sacrifices of fallen service members and first responders. The first flag, the Honor and Remember Flag, recognizes military personnel who died in the line of duty and features a specific design with red, blue, and white elements symbolizing their blood, service, and purity of sacrifice. It may be displayed at state and municipal buildings, courts, and veterans' memorials on designated holidays such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day, without requiring employees to work solely for its display. The second flag, the Honor and Sacrifice Flag, honors firefighters and law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty, featuring a design with blue, purple, and red fields representing the law enforcement community, mourning, and emergency response. This flag can be displayed on specific days including Peace Officers Memorial Day and International Firefighters Day at the same types of locations as the military flag.
