I went around town Sunday morning and lowered the flags to half mast at various places. I still did today on a service call, it irks me that people have absolutely no flag ettiquette sometimes, so i consider it an education for them. First part of freedom is personal responsibilty - I wish everyone would remember that when they buy a flag.
My flag is at half mast. I put it up on Sunday morning, since I was away from home until after dark on Saturday.
I haven't noticed many flags out there flying incorrectly, but I will try to point out the errors when I see them. Mostly, I was glad to see that the flag in the park near my house was at half-mast along with the state and city flags.
After 9/11 I went into a KFC (Redmond, WA) that didn't have it's flag and half staff. The kid said it was locked and he couldn't change it. I asked when the manager would be in, and I went down the next day. He said it was "broken". I went over to do it myself, but rope, etc. was inside the pole and locked up. I called the cops to see if their were any laws regarding it. (No)
I also mentioned to the cop that the manager /owner(?) and his wife seemed to be muslim (head scarfs, etc.). The flag never did go to half-mast. I'll tell ya, if I were a muslim after 9/11 the flag would be half-mast ASAP!
I see that they now don't even have a flag.
