Fly the American Flag at Half-Staff in honor of the Chattanooga Shooting victims and ALL fallen service members.

Created by B.P. on July 21, 2015

On 16 July 2015, a gunman opened fire at a military recruiting center and the Navy Operational Support Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, killing four U.S. Marines and a U.S. Navy petty officer.

In wake of this tragedy, several states and local governments have ordered the US Flag to be flown at Half Staff, the US Capitol has decided to fly the flag at Half Staff, So we would like the White House follow suit.

I understand that many service men & woman die and the flag is not flown at half staff for them & the reason for not making this decision may be based on not having the President pick & choose among service deaths to honor. This is slightly different, this was an attack on US Soil. So I am asking you to fly it at half staff for these 5 individuals and ALL who have died.
