Half-Staff: A Silent Tribute

Flying the flag at half-staff is a solemn signal of national mourning. It honors lives lost, marks tragedy, and invites reflection. A quiet gesture, but deeply powerful.

It’s often ordered after the death of prominent leaders, national disasters, or to commemorate days of remembrance like 9/11. The flag is first raised to the top, then lowered halfway—symbolizing both respect and resilience. In moments of sorrow, it reminds us that grief is shared, and remembrance is sacred.
