President Donald Trump has ordered U.S. flags to be flown at half staff for one week in tribute to Dolly Parton following her death at the age of 80. Trump called Parton’s passing “a true loss for millions of people” while honoring a career that made her one of the most recognizable figures in American music and culture. The order applies to flags over federal buildings, marking an unusually significant national tribute for the country music legend. Parton’s legacy extended far beyond music through acting, philanthropy and the Imagination Library, which has provided millions of books to children around the world. Dolly Parton spent decades bringing people together across generations, and now the country is lowering its flags to honor the life she leaves behind.
