The museum lowered the US flag to half staff for Nancy Reagan but kept the Smithsonian flag (the second flag pole) at full staff. I went to the security office to complain about it -- the US flag has to be higher than the rest so the Smithsonian flag should have been lowered too -- but the guy said those were the orders he was given. You'd figure the museum with the Star-Spangled Banner would have the flag protocol down pat but no... They fixed it the next day. |
