N.D. (AP) – Gov. Jack Dalrymple has directed all flags be flown at half-staff in North Dakota on Friday in honor of former astronaut Neil Armstrong.

Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969. He died on Saturday. He was 82.

Dalrymple says he’s asking all flags to be at half-staff from sunrise to sunset at the request of President Obama.

A private memorial service for Armstrong is scheduled in Cincinnati on Friday.
