Yes it is... I answered this question before and another guy said that you only fly flags at half staff for those who died that seviced our country and dint see why the flags where beings flown half-mast. So i will answer it the flag is being flown at half-mast because it is a sign of mourning. It is the best thing the president and others could have done because it shows us that live around VT that it not only affected us but affected everyone. Its a sign of support and thank everyone that has supported VT in its time of despair.
God Bless

Yes and I do believe they are to stay that way until sometime Sunday. And also, today is national "Orange and Maroon Effect Day" so everyone needs to wear some orange and maroon to honor the victims of this as well as family, friends and staff of Virginia Tech.

it truly is a real tragedy, 32 threat free human beings died, and the twist of destiny of having 2 Lebanese between them is astounding. For one of those small united states, as Lebanon having 2 students who left their united states to learn in another united states, and demise in such an undesirable way, is a real marvel. the in straightforward words even with the actuality that that I had after I heard about the records, is that no one is acquainted with even as the shortcoming of life will take us, we had warfare in Lebanon, w had many explosions, yet their destiny replaced into to die in Virginia a techniques far flung from their family contributors and residential! would all their souls relax in peace.
