One Minute Tribute
One minute video of flag at half-staff
Flying the US Flag at Half-Staff protocol is written here at the Veterans Affairs website.
“The flag should fly at half-staff for 30 days at all federal buildings, grounds, and naval
vessels throughout the United States and its territories and possessions after the death
of the president or a former president.”
Here’s a flag at half-staff today, flying at half-staff in honor of former President Jimmy Carter.

Muskingum Rest Stop
Interstate 70 Ohio.
“Muskingum County was a hub of river traffic and is famous for the “Y” Bridge which was built at the confluence of the Muskingum and Licking Rivers. The county got its name from the Native American term , Moos-kin-gung meaning “a town on the side of the river.” Some claim the natives called it the “Elk Eye River.”

Corner of Baum Boulevard and Liberty Ave.
Remembering the eleven congregants who died at Tree of Life Synagogue.
Praying for those injured, that they may heal and recover.
Grateful to the brave men and women who responded, risking their lives to save others.
Hopeful this tragic event can somehow strengthen our community spirit and encourage us to be kind to all.
From Google search to see whether it should be half-staff or half-mast
“Half-mast or half-staff refers to a flag flying below the summit on a pole. In many countries this is seen as a symbol of respect, mourning, distress, or, in some cases, a salute. … The tradition of flying the flag at half-mast began in the 17th century.”
I do remember the flag is raised to the top of the flag pole and then lowered down to half way. At then end of the day it is to be raised to the top of the pole again and then lowered. For more information about when and how to fly the flag
