Are flags suppose to be flown at half mask 9/11/2007?

Half Mast YES!~!Are flags suppose to be flown at half mask 9/11/2007?
Yes, and it is half mast (not mask).Are flags suppose to be flown at half mask 9/11/2007?
Yes. We remember those who were mercilessly and brutally murdered by the same people whom we are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.





And let me explain about ';half mast';.





The flag pole is called a mast. When the flag is to be flown at half mast, it is raised to the top of the mast, then dropped back down to halfway down, out of respect for the flag.
only if authorized by the president of the united states for federal buildings and grounds or the governor for state buildings and grounds.





by the way the verbage is ';half mast';
Yes. ALL flags should be flown at half mast on Patriot's Day. If you have a flag that can't be lowered, then a black ribbon should be placed at the top of the pole.
Yes they are. It's Military tradition and custom. Private flag fliers though do so at their discretion.
Yes, it is a show of respect for all those souls that died on that day.
Yes, in remembrance of the innocent people that died.
half staff is the correct way to say it. a mask is something you hide your face with,and a mast is used to rig sails from a ship.
half mast ..is for vessels...other wise it's called half staff
They can be but not required.
