Flags Half-Staff at State Of Arizona Buildings

Flags at State of Arizona buildings are being flown at half-staff to honor former President Gerald R. Ford, who died yesterday at the age of 93.

"I am saddened by the loss of President Ford," said Gov. Napolitano. "He was a strong leader during a difficult time in our country's history."

Ford was vice-president to Richard M. Nixon in August 1974, when Nixon resigned over the Watergate scandal, & Ford took the oath of office. He served as president until January 1977.

The flags will be flown at half-staff for the next 30 days.
