Flag protocol at half staff is 30 days from time of death for a sitting or former US President. Est Jan 26, 2007 all US Flags should fly high again.

Joel McHale (The Soup) played an interview with his wife/make-up artist and Joel said he can guess that James Brown is resting in the most peace he has ever had. But, if he is going back to the home they shared I guess not.

Maryland State flags are supposed to be half-staff today in honor of a policeman killed in the line of duty.
