Did you wonder why 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: Flags were to be flown at half staff (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. 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.
