It certainly is depressing seeing the flag at half-staff all the time. Perhaps it is a sign.
Idea for the Trump era: do away with flying the flag at half staff.
Looks weak, depressing, pathetic and SAD.
Fallen world, something bad happens daily.
Half staff is about as helpful as a hashtag.
I fly the flag 24/7 lit at night.
I normally keep it at full staff, mostly in defiance of President Half-Staff.
If it is for a national figure, like Scalia, it comes down.
Our community recently had two deputies ambushed. It was half staff for them too.
