| sacrifices. The day is to be observed by the people of this state with appropriate exercises in public |
| places, and shall cause a display of the state and American flags to be flown at half-staff over the |
| Rhode Island state house to commemorate this day of remembrance to honor their memory. |
| SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon passage. |
