Governor Kristi Noem has ordered that flags be flown at half-staff across South Dakota today (July 18, 2024) from sunrise until sunset in honor of Corey Comperatore. He was a husband, father and former Fire Chief of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company who tragically lost his life while protecting his wife and daughters from the shots fired during the assassination attempt against former President Donald J. Trump (July 13, 2024).
Noem also proclaimed Thursday, July 18th, 2024, as “Corey Comperatore Day” in South Dakota.
“Corey died as he lived – a hero who dedicated himself to saving lives. It is fitting and proper as Governor to honor great American heroes for the sacrifice that they make,” Noem wrote in the proclamation.
