Honor our fallen heroes
I was deeply moved by the local Pa. township that lower its flag to half-staff to honor one of our fallen Americans.
Why can't we all lower our flags to half-staff to honor all Americans nationwide who have given their lives for our country? I have lowered mine and will keep it lowered to honor each and every American service personnel. I wish we could do this for all of our fallen heroes.
Thank you if you took the time to read this. I am one American who wishes to honor all who fought for our country and show honor to their families.

The reason why flags should not be lowered whenever a citizen feels like it is that there are rules and laws which govern use and display of the flag. See, for example, www.usflag.org for the Flag Code and etiquette.
