As I stated is another post, every once in awhile I will be posting a thread called \'Thoughts from \'cnelk\'
They will be certain items of interest, current issues and other misc topics.
The topic today is the frequency of the american flag getting flown at half mast.
I get email notifications every time the President or Governor issues flags to flown at half mast.
It sure seems like this great honor has been diluted - every time someone deems it necessary.
I am not making light of the fact of \'WHY\' flags get lowered, but it sure seems they get lowered a lot more than did in the past.
The most recent lowering of flags is for the late John Glenn.
A true great American for sure, astronaut and politician
What are the requirements for lower the US flag?
I really dont know but I like to see all US flags flown at full mast, and in a most memorable occasion, lowered.
