I saw flags lowered to half last monday and I was confused because memorial day was the week before but then I remembered reading in the almanac that when a president dies (Reagan) the flag is lowered to half. I dont know how long though.

Found it:
The flag shall be flown at half-staff 30 days from the death of the President or a former President; 10 days from the day of death of the Vice President, the Chief Justice or a retired Chief Justice of the United States, or the Speaker of the House of Representatives; from the day of death until interment of an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, a Secretary of an executive or military department, a former Vice President, or the Governor of a State, territory, or possession; and on the day of death and the following day for a Member of Congress. The flag shall be flown at half-staff on Peace Officers Memorial Day, unless that day is also Armed Forces Day. As used in this subsection. http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html#1 |
