human beings, no count number number how nicely-intentioned, are not meant to fly the flag at 1/2-mast till it is approved with information from the President, a state Governor, or the Mayor of the District of Columbia. it truly is because if everybody flew the flag at 1/2-mast on each and every occasion they needed, the act might want to lose its which skill. contained when it comes to 9/11, it is approved. That day has been precise Patriot Day with information from the president and flying the flag at 1/2-mast is not basically ideal, it is envisioned.

American flags are to be flown at half mast for 30 days following the death of certain officials. Recently Gerald Ford, former President of the United States of America passed away. Flags are being flown at half mast in his honor.

President Gerald Ford passed away recently, as well as the many US soldiers that are dying daily in unjustified wars throughout the world (mainly Iraq, though).

Because of former President Ford's passing. We even had another day off of work for it. Well some of us did.
