Ours has been flying at half mast since the acts of war began.

Good for you, Coop, but unless you live on a houseboat your flag has actually been flying at half staff.

One more flag etiquette item: flags over land fly at half staff. Flags over water fly at half mast.

Yeah, but you're talking to an old Jarhead. Can't shake that Navy terminology! But your point is well taken.

How do you fly Old Glory at half staff when you have a 6' pole at 45 degrees on a non-adjustable bracket? Any help would be appreciated.
