Call the White House and remind them to lower the flag to half mast in remembrance of our Navy Seals. Switchboard # is 202-456-1414. Voice mail comments # is 202-456-1111. Thank you. God bless America.
I was not sure if this has been posted yet.
We have at our house.
I just called and was told the flag had not been lowered yet. Unbelievable!!!
You would think the white house staff would do this sort of thing without being told to do so by the resident.
It is a disgrace that this evens needs to be asked. Obama’s failed actions show his true distain for our Great Military.
The White House staff is busy with fundraising parties, vacation planning , and stuff.
Agree with most, but, why do these guys get the flag at half staff, when thousands who died before, did not.
(I am a vet.) If the flag lowering was publicized as symbolic as well to respect not only for the SEALs but also for ALL who had died before, I’d be with you on this.
But, he does have time to celebrate having a Ramadan dinner at the WH. I think it’s tonight.
obama can order the lowering of the flag for anyone he wants, I guess. But I have to ask, do we lower the flag everytime a soldier is killed in combat? I doubt you’re going to see it lowered.
I see your point. It still bothers me. There were so many lost at once.
“Ramadan dinner at the WH”
No pig roasting on a spit, I’m guessin”.
Flag lowering has become meaningless here in Washington State where the governor has even ordered the flag lowered for DOT worker killed while removing a tree from the road...
I told the soft-spoken male ... "You shouldn't have to look .. it should be already done"
"If enough people call in, maybe that will help in getting the flag in that position
" I have called ... that is all you need"
"Another thing you can do sir is go to the White House web site and .. "
"YOU DON'T NEED TO BE TOLD ... JUST LOWER THE FLAG FOR OUR FALLEN HEROES"
"I'm not sure what the protocol is for a situation like this"
"The protocol is, I am your employer and I want you to lower the flag to half staff to honor our fallen warrior heroes"
"Yes sir"
That's pretty close to a quote all around.
My first reaction as well. I am strongly pro-military. And unfortunately, my position on this appears to be PC leaning, but I want ALL military to be given the respect they deserve.
This fool in the WH will use it to his own benefit in some way. Thus, I would rather they not until we get more deserving people in office.
Yep!!! I think lots of people are calling. Just a guess, this was posted on fb and is making the rounds. I just don’t get it. I understand what one person said what about all of our fallen. I guess it’s just so many died. And it’s all kind of strange how that happened. Something fishy or someone made a horrible mistake.
I wish we could at our house, but our flag pole is such that we can not lower it properly. So nice that you can lower yours properly.
Do the SEALs go through more extremely intense training and encounter more dangerous situations then the norm?
I do see your point. My hubby is also retired military. This WH, this President doesn’t seem to care about anything, other then raising money.
None of them were Muslims, were they? Well, there you go!
Why would they lower it, the crowd of America-hating Marists that currently inhabit our White House are probably celebrating!
