Did you wonder why U.S. flags were still flying at half-staff? Did you wonder why some were at half-staff, but others were back up to their full height? Well, there’s an easy explanation: U.S. flags were to be flown at half-staff (half-mast on a ship) until sunset yesterday (Dec. 30, 2018) in honor of former President George H.W. Bush who passed away on Nov. 30. The honor of flags at half-staff lasted throughout the month. Apparently, many did not understand proper flag etiquette and brought flags back up too soon. However, as you can see from this photo I got Dec. 30, at the Collier County Public Library – Headquarters branch that the library and county government got it right.
