Why are the flags at half mast?

I noticed they were at half-mast about a week ago--it is a recent thing, not something I just haven't been noticing. My mother says it is because of the war; is this true? If it's not, could someone tell why they are suddenly at half-mast? I live in MA.

Live in NEW Mexico it's because this is the time we went to war 4 years ago from 9/11

Half Mast is a sign of respect for the dead. Someone in your town probably died and they're honoring him/her.

Someone important probably died or the wind is just blowing that way
