Obama's Patriot Day proclamation was the first to not include an order to fly the flag at half-mast. Our governor didn't issue an Executive Order on the topic. Just curious as to your opinion, as the graveyard officer, the government building flags in town are my responsibility. What say you O.com?

I have only one question...did you even read President Obama's proclamation?Last edited by SkepticAlways; 09-10-2009, 09:33 PM....hunter of the shadows is rising... -
I can't say I've ever actually reviewed the Patriot Day law. Just was curious as to what others thought. Governor Perry doesn't issue EOs when Texas LEOs are killed in the LOD, but you'll still find our flags at half mast.sigpicLet your watchword be duty, and know no other talisman of success than labor.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 11, 2009, as Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance. I call upon all departments, agencies, and instrumentalities of the United States to display the flag of the United States at half-staff on Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance in honor of the individuals who lost their lives as a result of the terrorist attacks against the United States that occurred on September 11, 2001
