Absolutely agree with you and with the father.

How he must suffer deeply the loss of his son. God bless & comfort him.

Honoring Whitney Houston with half staff of flag cuts me to the bone that real heroes who defend and protect us and our Constitution really aren't due the half staff flag or even much at all.

I heard that Clarence Clemmons (of Springsteen-sic-band) also had a half staff as did Frank Sinatra.

What's up with that, New Jersey? Maybe someone - a modern day Betsy Ross - could design a flag for fallen celebrities. Can't be a rainbow flag - already taken. Maybe the drama and comedy faces could be on it. Just sayin'...

...aren’t being honored and given their righteous due.... First post I think I kinda’ made it sound like I thought the military weren’t due half staff either. They most certainly are due that and all else they need to be given assistance as they transit when they get back home. Sorry, haven’t had but one ice cream for breakfast yet.
