Thanks. I was hoping to see something last night, but I must have missed it. Did he issue any order to put the flags at half mast? I keep expecting to see them lowered.

Why? This is not an American thing, #1.

Don't mean to steer this off-topic but we have been "dumbing down" (like everything else) the rules of flag-lowering (not to mention flag treatment, in general). That includes lowering it for every American ever killed (I've seen it for police, etc). It is *only* supposed to be lowered generally for deaths of high members of state (US) and perhaps massive national tragedies. If we do it like every1 keeps suggesting, the flag would never go up!
