Gov. Abigail Spanberger has ordered flags at state and local buildings across Virginia flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset Saturday in memory of former U.S. Rep. Dr. George William Whitehurst, who will be laid to rest that day.

Whitehurst, a Republican, represented Virginia's 2nd Congressional District from 1969 to 1987, serving nine terms, and died Nov. 7 at age 101. Before his congressional career he served in the U.S. Navy during World War II, and afterward he was a professor and dean of students at Old Dominion University.

In her order, the governor called him a distinguished public servant, devoted educator and proud veteran whose life exemplified a commitment to service, leadership and country, and said his work helped lay the foundation for the Virginia we know today.
