My wife and I fly the flag proudly. Because I am disabled it takes two of us to raise and lower the flag pole which is what is needed to fly it at half mast. We mean no disrespect, but it is really problematic for us to change the flag's position on the pole with each call to do so. Unfortunately, these days there are entirely too many situations were we would need to do so. The American Legion has an alert email advisory service if anyone is interested. Go on line and sign up.
