Care to elaborate on that instead of this "hit and run" one liner??...
This post was about flying the AMERICAN FLAG at half mast to honor those Americans who died. I am well aware that there were foreigners who also died and I would presume that their respective countries would also honor them by doing the same or by whatever their standard traditions are. My post was by no means meant to disrespect those foreign traditions.
Our traditions as US citizens is to honor our
home country men and women by placing our flags at half mast by order of the President and only the President in remembrance of those who died.
I truly hope you do not take issue with that...
