An interesting article from July, 2016:

FLAG AT HALF-STAFF: OLD GLORY ETIQUETTE DEBATED
https://www.daytondailynews.com/news/national-govt—politics/flag-half-staff-old-glory-etiquette-debated/KgHFmki0jH6jv3yEJ5qVSJ/

The article reads: “Obama has ordered the flag lowered 70 times during his presidency.”[snip]

Would be interesting to ‘circle back’ and list the many times Presidents and/or Residents ordered the lowering and for whom/what/why.
