Okla. Admin. Code § 1:2010-47
I, Brad Henry, Governor of the State of Oklahoma, in recognition of Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, direct that appropriate steps be taken to fly all American flags and Oklahoma flags on State property at half-staff from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 7, 2010, to honor the many Oklahoma and United States citizens who perished on December 7, 1941, as a result of the infamous attack by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and in recognition of the dedication of a Memorial to their sacrifice.
On that day, 2,403 service people were killed, including 429 aboard the USS Oklahoma. Eight of the 429 aboard the USS Oklahoma were Oklahoma citizens. The loss of those people was a heavy burden for all Americans to bear. The flying of these flags at half staff is a symbol from Oklahomans that demonstrates our remembrance of those killed and sympathy for their families.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma to be affixed at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, this 6th day of December, 2010.
BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA
