Fly the American Flag at Half-Staff
The President of the United States can direct how the entire executive branch of the government flies the flag, including traditions or customs for flying the flag at half-staff (PDF, Download Adobe Reader). While you can follow how the executive branch flies the flag, it is not a requirement. For instance, a local community, a company, a school district, or a federal agency can decide to have all of their flags at half-staff because of the death of an employee, a student, a mayor, or a local police officer.
