Go to American Flags Flagpoles Religious Military Historical Flags and sign up for the newsletter and they will send you an email when the flag is to be flown at half staff and give you the reason why.

I think I sent a request to the Daily Sun years ago asking them to put something in the paper so all of us that fly the American flag would know when to fly it at half staff. I got no response.

I send a note to some of the people in the neighborhood that fly the American flag to let them know.
