Thanks. I don't understand all I know about this but I believe this I always knew, I think. I've seen neighbors with flag poles put theirs at half staff whenever they felt like it. There is one a few blocks away that has his at half staff way too often. It is reserved for very special occasions such as 9/11 and declared by the president.
It's like what's the different between murder and an assassination? It depends on who it is.
