Have I missed something important? I can't recall why we are flying our US Flags at 1/2 Mass.

Not sure if it is for Thomas Eagleton that passed away last week or someone else. Maybe they are still honoring Anna Nicole Smith.

When the flags were flying 1/2 staff after Gerald Ford and James Brown died I had people at my work that asked if it was for James Brown because they never heard of Gerald Ford

Felicity, are you kidding? Are these people under 30? If so, what is our education system coming to? If not, they are in more trouble than I thought.

Why would it be for James Brown? Was he in the Military?

OMG It wasn't for James Brown! It was to indicate that some people don't even know who our 38th president was.

Oh and in case that wasn't a typo, it's Half Mast or Half-staff, not Half Mass.

James Brown died within a day of Gerald Ford,
He wasn't in the military but I think he spent some time in jail.

I noticed that, too about the flags down to half staff and I wondered if I missed something myself!
Yes, you and have the DVD's mailed to your mailbox, but you have to pay shipping & handling (the DVD's are free).
