HALF STAFF

I noticed both Monday and today as I drove onto post the flag is a half staff.

After a year of conditioning, I thought "dammit, we've lost another Soldier", since the flag in front of the 1st Brigade HQs goes to half staff in such times.

Only late in the day did it dawn on me the flag is at such a state in honor of President Reagan.

Evidence, I suppose, that flag has been at half staff an awful lot over the last year.

Oh...and with regard to President Reagan, I was right. We did lose a heckuva Soldier.
