Hi David:
Now maybe times have changed, but way back in the stone age, when we threw rocks at the enemy, I was in the Army, and being on permanent guard duty (not by choice), I rasied and lowered many a flag, including the mammoth holiday flag, and we always called it "Half Mast", and that's the way they tought it at the Leadership Acadamy. Also, the American flag is supposed to be one flag width higher than th rest on American territory. It's amazing what ya still remember. HA!
