I live in a small town. I rarely venture out of my neck of the woods. Today I went to the post office to mail a package and noticed the flag lowered to have staff. So I asked the guy...

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.
