I remember when Sir Winston Churchill died, the flags on base were lowered to half staff. I believe he was an honorary American citizen though. I can’t think of any other foriegn citizen who deserved it more than him.

Not sure if Churchill was an honorary American citizen or an actual one. His mother was an American.

Relatedly, on a visit to our Congress, he broke them up by pointing out that if he were American, he'd have been one of them.
