I will lower the Flag at my house to Half Staff when my father (a Military Lifer) passes away. I would do this out of respect for him, and his service to my Country and that Flag.

Would that be improper to you?

Fluff, don’t put me in a position like that you know how I feel about the military and veterans. You have every right to do what ever you like to show honor and respect for your father. I would never criticize you or anybody else for that. In fact I would join you in honoring your father.

I was just pointing out laws and tradition. Flag laws only affect federal holdings. Flag rules pertain to state and local entities. On private property there are no rules. Sadly there are even some people who fly the flag at half staff as a form of dissent.

The flag is used for any veteran during the funeral ceremony as being draped over the coffin with the Union at the head and left shoulder. It is not typically displayed at half-staff for the death of a soldier.

Gore Vidal - a bitter a twisted little man. I saw an interview with him a couple of weeks ago. He practically drips acid.

Ugh. You have no idea. There's a house in my hometown that I've seen the confederate flag on TOP of an upside down National flag.

In MICHIGAN. The southern pride argument doesn't even hold. The lack of education and outright stupidity might tho.

You should have advised us to don our tin foil for that one. Especially for the last paragraph.

Pity his 'rage & bitterness' didn't stop him accepting American hospitality & emigrating to California.

It's funny to see some of those who choose to immigrate here rail so hard against their host. Is this a new form of S&M?? Reminds me much of the Bezerkley crowd and those nitwits who claim they will leave the US if their candidate loses.
