I hereby order all flags flown in the state of Montana to be flown at half-staff on Saturday, September 5th, 2020 to honor Montanan Tom Duffy, who lost his life in the line of duty as a first responder on August 24th, 2020.

Tom’s dedication to protecting lives from the devastation of fires led him to lend his skills as a pilot to our neighbors in Oregon. Tom was a devoted father, husband, and man of faith, and throughout his career, Tom’s spirit of service and bravery represented the best of Montana. The thoughts and prayers of my family and administration are with Tom’s wife, children, and fellow first responders.

Dated this 4th day of September 2020.
