I wouldn't be surprised if whatever flag they fly at "Liberty University" is flown at half-mast, but I doubt that the stars-and-stripes will be tugged down the pole at your local post-office. Jerry, after all, while a political hopeful, was essentially a proponent of a brand of fundamental Christianity and an advocate of a brand of morality -and, as well all know and as Jerry would not doubt agree, the government can't get involved in official US recognition of religious characters.
But this raises the question of exactly WHAT the process is for deciding when to fly the flag at half mast in ther first place. The answer, not surprisingly, is in the United States Code. The law gives the usual list of occasions you'd expect, but also gives the President some pretty broad authority to order the flags down for "other officials." And, so can state governors.
It's all in Title 4 of the US Code, which also covers the etiquette for draping coffins and the like. Read all about it:

I hope this answers your question.

NO!
If we're not going to fly flags at half-mast for our fallen troops, why should we fly them at half-mast for a divisive figure like Jerry Falwell?

If u.s. is like Canada, flag-reducing isn't what it was. To make up for his or her cuts to the miltary, the final government diminished the flag on parliament each time a soldier become killed in Afghanistan, which become no longer the previous practice. in addition they diminished the flags on each federal construction on the anniversary of the bloodbath of 13 women human beings in Montreal - an honour which no longer even our war lifeless get on November eleventh.
