Are The Flags Flying At Half Mast Today Where You Are? They Are Here (Texas) And No One Seems To Know Why?

They Are Here (Texas) And No One Seems To Know Why. Anyone know the reason? The only thing anyone - including my ROTC students - could come up with is its to honor the recently killed in Afghanistan.

If that's the case, shouldn't they be at half mast everyday as we continue to waste American lives in a fruitless and never-ending war helping people who apparently don't want to be helped?

Perry stated that "the world has lost a dedicated researcher and scientist with the passing of Dr. Borlaug, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal. “Dr. Borlaug was widely acclaimed as the founder of the Green Revolution in agriculture and a leading expert in the effort to relieve world hunger.As a mark of respect for this widely-regarded researcher and professor, it seems fitting that flags in Texas be lowered to half-staff,” he added.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
