Sea Isle City - Throughout the county, I noticed the American flag flown at half mast. While it may have been done with good intentions to honor local people, only the president of the U.S. can order the U.S. flag to be flown at half mast. Please display the U.S. flag with the respect it deserves. For local citizens, the town's flag should have been at half mast.

Moderator's Note: 
According to the American Legion website, only the president of the United States or the governor of your state may order the flag to be half-staffed.
