Why Are Flags Still At Half Staff in Kane County, IL?
If you were driving around the area this weekend, you might have wondered aloud why flags were at half staff.
President George H.W. Bush
After all, Pearl Harbor Day was Dec. 7, and the state funeral for President George H.W. Bush was back on Dec. 5.
The half-staff proclamation is, in fact, for Bush, who died Nov. 30 at his home in Houston, TX, seven months after the death of his wife of 73 years, Barbara Bush.
Flags are to remain at half staff until sunset on Dec. 30.
The flags are drawn to half staff by presidential proclamation.
