(WFXR) — Governor Ralph Northam issued a flag order on behalf of the late Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United State John Paul Stevens.
Stevens died on July 16 at 99 years old in Florida.
Stevens served more than twice the average tenure for a justice, and was only the second to mark his 90th birthday on the high court, according to Associated Press.
Stevens will be buried in a private ceremony Tuesday at Arlington National Cemetery. The public can pay their respects to him until 8 p.m. EDT Monday.
The Virginia flag order starts Tuesday, July 23, and stays in effect until sunset.
