Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is honoring the late WWE star Hulk Hogan by ordering U.S. flags to be flown at half-staff on Aug. 1 and declaring the day in his memory.
DeSantis issued the declaration in a July 31 press release, naming Aug. 1 as “Hulk Hogan Day” due to the professional wrestler’s connection to the state.
“His larger-than-life personality will be missed,” read the governor’s release. “The ‘Hulkster’ was an icon for many who grew up in the 80s and 90s, as well as today. He was a true Floridian through and through.”
From sunrise to sunset, both the U.S. and the State of Florida flags are to be flown half-staff at the State Capitol in Tallahassee and all local and state buildings, installations, and grounds throughout Pinellas County….
