I love Chik-Fil-A and love that they are doing this, but to be fair to other businesses, there will probably be many of them doing the same thing. President Obama ordered flags to half staff through 2/20/2016.
START: 2/13/2016 END: 2/20/2016
US Flags at Half Staff Honoring Antonin Scalia
The White House Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release February 13, 2016 . Presidential Proclamation: Death of Antonin Scalia As a mark of respect for Antonin Scalia, Associate Justice of the United States, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, including section 7 of title 4, United States Code, that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and on all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, on the day of interment. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same period at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand sixteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fortieth.
I am sort of surprised by your post....
Hard to imagine Obama not making this into a political statement.... He normally delights in jamming infantile statements into conservative faces....
Lowering the flag to half staff has little meaning imho since it was lowered for A drugged out freak named Whitney Houston
