Must be a local thing. There's nothing nationally or statewide, assuming you're in Louisiana. Maryland has flags at half staff today for two police officers killed in the line of duty.

Yep. They're half-mast in Gretna but not in Harvey.

And I wrong in thinking that US flags can only lowered to half mast by presidential order?

Serious answer; the death of a Supreme Court justice is a real possibility.

We're these flags located on a ship in Gretna? If not, they were half staff not half mast.

Semantics.


They were at half staff on Friday too.

Nobody's come up with an explanation for that either.
