I think it was Wednesday, but could have been Tuesday, was there a reason for the flags to be at half-staff?
Two of the houses that I drive by to and from work fly flags. They were at half-staff on that day. I didn't look real hard, but I couldn't find a reason.

I suspect that a lot of people are doing that out of respect for 9/11. I, however, will be flying my flag high and proud on 9/11. I think there is something in flag etiquette that dictates that one can fly a flag half-mast for a certain period but not after. Do you fly your flag half-mast on Memorial Day? I don't. I might be wrong and YMMV but that's my take...the mourning period is over and now it's time to get down to business.
