Me: Why's the flag lowered to have staff?
Him: Haven't you heard the Queen of England died?
Me: Wait, so we lower the U.S. flag for foreign dignitaries? Since when?
Him: We just do what we're told around here.
So am I so country bumpkin that I missed somewhere along the way that we lower our flag for foreign heads of state/dignitaries? Someone please enlighten me.
It spends more time at half mast than fully raised now days.
Started with 9/11 (good reason) Then Iraq/Afghanistan every time a soldier died Now days all it takes is a stubbed to by an assistant for the junior deputy assistant intern summer clerk in the Biden WH
Couldn't agree more, fren.
We need to make the standard flag pole twice as tall.
