It isn't! I don't know where you got the idea that U, S. Flags are flying at "half-mast" today, but they aren't!

Nobody of national note has recently died and this is not a national holiday. Perhaps some local personage in your area has died (in that case, it would only be your local flag or state flag that was lowered), or perhaps the person who was supposed to raise the flag you saw, died themselves after only getting the flag halfway up! Unfortunately, you provided no further information as to the reason for your belief.

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.
