Re: Trivia question



Here in NH, flags are ordered to half-mast by the Governor.  Therefore, the
information is usually available as a press release or announcement on the
Governor's home page.  Perhaps this practice would hold true in other states
as well?  I know of no single-source site for half-mast orders throughout
the country.

This is not work related, but something I have wondered about.  Maybe
you all can satisfy my curiosity!

Often municipalities and states will fly the American flag at half mast.
For example, very recently the flags on the NYS Thruway were at half
mast (at State Trooper barracks and rest stops).  [BTW I'd like to think
it was for the passing of Dick Schapp, but I doubt it.]  Is there a web
site or something that people can go to that will tell why flags are at
half mast?  I'm interested at the state level.

I look forward to your answers!

Jill
