Why are some flags at half-staff, and some aren't? What to know for Inauguration Day 2025

^{Published on 2025-01-20 05:20:44 - MSN}

According to the U.S. General Services Administration, flags are flown at half-staff when the country or a specific state is mourning following national tragedies, for days of remembrance or in the immediate deaths of government or military personnel.

The article from MSN discusses the protocol for flag lowering on Inauguration Day 2025. It explains that flags are often flown at half-staff to honor significant events or individuals, but the specific reasons for some flags being at half-staff and others not on this particular day are not universally mandated. Instead, it depends on state or local decisions, presidential proclamations, or specific events like the death of a notable figure or a national tragedy. The article notes that while there's no automatic rule for lowering flags on Inauguration Day, some states or local governments might choose to do so as a symbolic gesture, perhaps to signify the end of one administration and the beginning of another, or in response to recent events. It also mentions that the U.S. Flag Code provides guidelines, but the enforcement and interpretation can vary, leading to the observed discrepancies in flag positions across different locations on Inauguration Day.
