Why are the flags at half mast?

  • i dont know if they are everywhere but they are at half mast in pa


  • It's in honor to the fallen officers. Usually put up during memorial or veterans day. It sometimes means the morning of the country like during Sep. 11


  • yes I was wondering the same thing! They are half-mast here in MA too...Maybe it's like some sorta memorabilia


  • because Gov. Knoll died recently and they're supposed to stay at half until they bury her.

  • HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Funeral arrangements are set for Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll.

    Knoll died Wednesday after a four-month battle with cancer.

    The lieutenant governor will lie in repose in the Capitol rotunda in Harrisburg from noon Friday, Nov. 21 until 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 22.

    Her body will then be taken to Pittsburgh where a private funeral mass will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 25 at Saint Paul's Cathedral.

    Gov. Ed Rendell ordered all U.S. and Pennsylvania flags at commonwealth facilities to be flown at half-staff in memory of Lt. Governor Catherine Baker Knoll.

    Flags are to remain at half-staff until the Lieutenant Governor's interment.
