Our flags are correctly flown at half-staff.

President Gerald R. Ford passed away on December 26, 2006, and the flags outside of our building have been flown at half-staff ever since. There have been comments and questions around the job about whether or not they should be back at full-staff.

We present an excerpt from a Presidential Proclamation:

...I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, in honor and tribute to the memory of Gerald R. Ford, and as an expression of public sorrow, do hereby direct that the flag of the United States be displayed at half-staff at the White House and on all buildings, grounds, and Naval vessels of the United States for a period of 30 days from the day of his death.

So yes, it is appropriate for the flags to be flown at half-mast until 24January2007, in honor of the late President.
