It is common practice to fly the American flag at half mast for 30 days following the death of a president either past of present. It is a show and sign of respect from Americans to a person who once led our country.

Because it hasn't been over 30 days yet since President Gerald Ford passed on. The flags are to be at half mast for 30 days when a president passes on.

I've seen Libs on here that call our flag a war flag. This is so disrespectful. I will fly my American Flag proudly. I just hope O doesn't try to use his emblem as a flag. God help us all. God Bless America and Her People! God Bless Our Brave Troops!

The period is thirty days following the death of a President. Mr. Ford died on December 26, so that time period has not yet elapsed.
