CARMEL – The Historic Courthouse in downtown Carmel will be illuminated in blue, white and red lights – the colors of the French flag – to demonstrate solidarity with France in the wake of the November 13 terrorist attacks in Paris.
“As a community that still feels the pain of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, we empathize with the French citizens and visitors whose lives will be forever changed,” said Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell. “To have the historic courthouse lit in blue, white and red shows we are united in the commitment in liberty and justice for all.”
The lighting of the courthouse will coincide with President Obama’s order to have the American flag lowered to half-mast until sunset on Thursday, November 19.
