Raimondo said flags will return to full staff at sunset this Sunday.
PROVIDENCE, RI — Governor Gina Raimondo ordered all flags in the state be lowered to half-mast for the late Sen. John McCain.
McCain died Saturday from brain cancer at his Arizona Ranch. He was 81.
.@SenJohnMcCain was a war hero, dedicated patriot and true fighter until the very end. His death is a loss for our nation, but especially for his loved ones. Andy and I are keeping the McCain family in our thoughts and prayers.
