[QUOTE="WoodsCraft, post: 4386444, member: 51836"] I am not obligated by that law to lower my flag for anyone.. You've just demonstrated you've never read it . I do love the mental gymnastics you go through though when you incorrectly think you're right. Go read the US Flag Code and while you're at it [URL='https://www.ushistory.org/betsy/more/proc3044.htm']Proclamation 3044[/URL] Section 5 states, [B]"The heads of the several departments and agencies of the [federal] Government may direct that the flag of the United States be flown at half-staff on buildings, grounds, or naval vessels under their jurisdiction on occasions other than those specified herein which they consider proper, and that suitable military honors be rendered as appropriate."[/B] Upon the death of a sitting or former President how long does the flag fly at half-mast? For a Vice-President? Others? [LIST] [*]30 days from the death of the President or a former President [*]10 days from the day of death for: Vice President; Chief Justice of the US or a retired Chief Justice of the US; Speaker of the House of Representatives [*]Day of death until interment for: Associate Justice of the Supreme Court; Secretary of an executive or military department; Former Vice President; Governor of a State, territory, or possession [*]Day of death and the following day for: Member of Congress [/LIST] I don't know why I even bother when you're wrong way more frequently than you're right [/QUOTE]
