As I was out shopping this morning, the only flag on private property that I saw at half-staff was mine. I also noticed that flags at some gatehouses were not at half-staff.
As a US citizen and a veteran, I was disgusted. Especially the resident who was also flying a military flag under their American flag at full staff. At first, I thought that they may have gone north but they were in their yard.

Please don't be disgusted, Ralphie.
I am glad that people fly the flag. But I understand that there are rules and decorum about flying Old Glory.
I will put ours out. I had forgotten about today.
