Actually, I think the correct term is half staff. Yep, I believe you're right.

It is also not uncommon for companies to use the flag in their advertising, and on clothing, doesn't make it right.
I wonder what the big uproar about the NFL is.......
Disrespect is disrespect whether intentional or not, when it is intentional it should be fought, when it is unintentional it should be corrected.
Ok. Show me where the Flag Code states a non-government entity can't fly the flag half staff. Dave

I think some folks need to take a gander at the Flag Code.
It is not uncommon for private entities to follow the lead of governors and presidents.
Dave So am I to understand you're having issues with it being at "half-staff"? You're a bit young to be afflicted, but they say it happens to everyone sooner or later. Don't get down on yourself. Ask your Dr. for some Cialis samples. They tell me you get a few days out of it and it doesn't give you the headache that Viagra does. You'll be back in the saddle pounding nails in no time. Just trying to help a brother out with better living through chemistry.

Flags are flown on staffs not masts. Ships have masts and flags are never flown on masts.
Just so you folks will know. Were did you learn that? I am curious too. Does not match my understanding or experience on a broad range of boats and ships I have been on.

I have a staff... But I don't fly a flag on it. I do use a flagpole though.
