I, too, am sickened by the sight of "OLD GLORY" being desecrated and will fight until my last heart beat to defend her. True Americans must struggle against those who falsely hide behind "freedom of speech" in order to disgrace our nation.

Question:
Can the mayor order the flag to be half-staffed?
Answer:
No, only the President of the United States or the Governor of your State may order the flag to be half-staffed.
Those individuals and agencies that usurp authority and display the flag at half-staff on inappropriate occasions are quickly eroding the honor and reverence accorded this solemn act.
