To lower your flag would be a choice you have to make on your own. The truth is if you decided to lower your flag everytime a soldier died it'd never be up.
Also, Soldiers do recieve memorial services just like the firemen did, they just aren't televised.
If there is a Soldier from your community who dies and they hold a memorial service for him when his/her body is returned, I BEG you to attend the service. I have attended two and the memorial services are very touching.

We'd never get to raise the flag to full staff again!

You may certainly do that if you want to.
