Some flags are able to be lowered up and down on a pole or mast....Some are permentently fixed such as the one at the mall and cannot be lowered or raised. In that case the flag doesn't fly at half mast. If you see a flag NOT flying at half mast take care to look and see if it has a halyard and a pulley at the top of the truck. IF it does then it can undoubtedly be raised and lowered. In the case of the one at the Village Square Mall it is fixed and can only be taken down with a big azz ladder so it's ok for it to not fly at half mast. If you see someone flying a flag that should be at half mast OR is worn, tattered or in a state of disrepair feel free to stop and let them know. When I was in Leavenworth I bought a flag for a guy that flew his all the time but it was tattered. I just stopped and gave him the new one. It's your duty to make any corrections of our flag....NOW on the other hand if you are a Demokrat you can just drive by with your usual scorn for our flag and go about your busines.....
