Default Flags at half mast?

Can someone tell me why the flags are at half mast? They are at this level so often I don't even pay attention.

"The solemn practice of placing the American Flag at half-staff means that our Nation or the state is mourning the death of a highly regarded National or state figure. Therefore only the President of the United States or the Governor of the state may order the Flag to be half-staffed in accordance with Flag Code section 7(m).

Thus, when you encounter mayors or town officials who take the Flag Code into their own hands it must be recognized that these individuals are acting against the US Flag Code. These actions are also minimizing the acts taken by governors or the President."

Love the following short 1.2 minute flag retreat video from the movie "Soldier in the Rain". Filmed at Ft Ord, Ca in 1961 with the whole brigade at the flag ceremony.

Mine are and they are pretty upset about it. The minute I get home from work, I change the channel from news to something light. This nonsense is killing their spirit.
