It would be nice if they were held at half mast in Washington until our troops are home, but... It's to honor fallen heroes. Thus the YTech dead are remembered. It's until next Monday.
I'ld like lawmakers to remember it's time to get to business over the Iraq war not just lobby personal agenda and bash the Commander-In -Chief. All talk no action. Our dead soldier's deserve the same respect but perhaps that is too maudlin or sad to see each day?

I heard for every death is everyday you should have your flag at half mast. A day of respect for each person.

....ummmm....Virginia Tech???
Our governer of Michigan has asked that flags on state buildings be flown at half mast until the 22nd of April. Perhaps your governer has done the same.
