President Trump announced the decree on social media early this morning, expressing deep admiration for the renowned country music star. “This is a true loss for millions of people,” the president shared in a tweet. “There has never been anyone like her, and never will be. Rest in Peace, Dolly! The world loves you.”

The flag-lowering order will be observed across federal buildings, military installations, and government facilities throughout the United States, lasting until the anniversary of her funeral service or until her family requests otherwise.
Dolly Parton’s influence extends deeply into American culture and beyond. With hits like “Jolene,” “9 to 5,” and “Coat of Many Colors,” she has garnered numerous Grammy Awards, Country Music Association honors, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom. Her humanitarian work, including literacy programs and disaster relief initiatives, has earned her admiration from leaders worldwide.
Social media has been flooded with tributes from fans, fellow artists, and public figures. Many are sharing photos, anecdotes, and heartfelt messages to honor her legacy. The #ThankYouDolly hashtag quickly trended on Twitter, with users expressing their gratitude for her decades of dedication, authenticity, and kindness.
