Mayor, it is a common mistake, but flags only fly at half mast aboard a ship; on land, they fly at half staff. It takes nothing away from your point, but it rankles.

Yes, thank you to all who serve this nation, regardless of what this nation has chosen to do with that service. Extra appreciation goes to veterans like Edward Snowden who put in extra effort and sacrifice for the American people, and against corruption. ❤️🗽

It's half staff unless they're on boats.

My father was a WWII vet. My nephew is an Iraq War vet. Thank you for your kindness. You’re right. The fact so many vets are homeless and/or suicidal says how little we do to take care of men and women like my dad and nephew.

It’s “half staff.” Half mast is when the flags are on a ship.

Bravo.

It's "half staff." "Half mast" refers only to ships.

Samoa Joe vs Ospreay was real good, mayor.
