President Ford was buried a little more then a week ago...are they still flying at half mast in continued respect or did someone forget to tell everyone to raise them up again?

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, in honor and tribute to the memory of Gerald R. Ford, and as an expression of public sorrow, do hereby direct that the flag of the United States be displayed at half-staff at the White House and on all buildings, grounds, and Naval vessels of the United States for a period of 30 days from the day of his death. I also direct that for the same length of time, the representatives of the United States in foreign countries shall make similar arrangements for the display of the flag at half-staff over their Embassies, Legations, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and stations.

The U.S. flag should be 0.5 mast if order by technique of the governer of your state, Mayor of your city, or by technique of the President of the Untied States. notwithstanding, someone can elect to fly their flag at 0.5 mass if a man or woman that replaced into interior the protection pressure gave up the ghost that they recognize or are concerning. The flag at 0.5 mast could by no skill contact the floor and does not could be necssarily halfway down the flag pole in simple terms particularly down the pole.

united states flags should always be at half mast. every day tons of soldiers are dying in iraq fighting this pointless and endless war. why bother putting them back up again?
only the dead have seen the end of war.

Masts are on ships!
Flags on land fly on poles.
Half staff; not half mast.
FYI
