They are supposed to be at half-mast for a month after a President dies; in this instance, Gerald Ford. U.S. flags at federal facilities, as well as at foreign embassies and military bases, will fly at half-mast and will stay there for 30 days. Others just elect to do so out of respect and tradition.

Because of the recent passing of former president Gerald R. Ford. The flags will stay at half-mast until about the 26th of January, one month after his death.
