When a sitting or former President dies, the custom is for the flag to fly at half staff for 30 days. Such is the case for Ronald Reagan. However, the timing of this means that the flag will be at half staff until July 5th.
Of course we should mourn Ronald Reagan, but I can't help but think he wouldn't want the American flag sagging under the weight of sorrow on July 4th. He'd want the flag flying high & proudly. He'd want sunrise on the 4th to truly be morning in America, and no longer mourning in America. It's President Bush's ultimate decision on how long the flag is flown at half staff. On the 4th of July, he should raise it for the Gipper.
