| Re: Flag at half-staff What are the appropriate dates and occasions when the flag should be flown at half staff? Hi, Noah! There are two sources of this information. One is paragraph 7m of the flag code, which you can find here: US CODE: Title 4,7. Position and manner of display It says that the flag shall be half-masted on certain holidays, and upon the death of certain public officials. The President can direct that the flag be half-staffed on other occasions. This is done by presidential proclamation. You can find recent presidental procamations here: Proclamations Issued by President Bush Hope this answers your question. Regards, Peter Ansoff
