There are 5 places in the world where the US flag is never lowered to half staff. Where are they?

Answer 1

I've heard this question before....

* The Betsy Ross House (false, it is half-staffed)
* The Alamo (false, it is half-staffed*)
* USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor (false, it is half-staffed)
* The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, in Arlington (false, it is half-staffed when others are, and, in addition, it is lowered to half-staff 30 minutes before each funeral)
* The Moon (true)

A flag, however, is never half-staffed on the battlefield. There are locations so remote that it is not lowered to half-staff. And, half-staffing the flag is done on a voluntary basis by citizens, so there are certainly many flags that are never half-staffed. However, there are no locations where the flag is not half-staffed by Congressional or Presidential authority.


*EDIT*
I agree with the answerer before me though (with money) =)

Answer 2

On U.S. money. There's one U.S. flag on the back of the $10 bill, two on the back of the $20 bill, one on the back of the $50 bill, which depicts the U.S. Capitol.
That's 4. By Presidental order on June 12, 1961 the U.S. flag on the Iwo Jima War Memorial is to be flown 24 hours a day, as shown in the original photograph. Which means it can not be lowered to half staff...
The only other choice you have is the moon.
