“2 Coeur d’Alene Guardsmen killed in Iraq
“): “Got a call from John at Gov. Otter’s office re: flag protocal … all flags on state and government buildings are flown at half staff from dawn to dusk on the day of funeral services for fallen soldiers. I appreciate that the American flag on the Idaho Army National Guard Armory building has been at half mast since Saturday. Sometimes protocal misses the mark.”
Question: Do you know the difference between “half-staff” and “half-mast”?
