It's Police Offficer Appreciation Day. Bush ordered the flags flown at half-staff to memorialize police officers killed in the line of duty.

The term is "half-mast", meaning "halfway up the mast, or flagpole."
Typically if it's not a federal holiday requiring the flag to be at half-mast (such as Memorial day), it's there to honor someone who has just died.

Half mast. Half mass is when you walk out of church right after communion.
