Flying the Flag as a Mark of Respect for Victims of the Second Boston Massacre

On Tuesday, April 16^th, one day after the detonation of two improvised explosive devices in Boston, the flag of the United States flew at half-staff over the White House. 

President Barack Obama issued a proclamation to that effect, and the colors of America will remain in that position over the White House until the sun sets on Saturday, April 20^th, five full days later.

Yet, as of yesterday, when I drove by the Bridgewater Township Municipal Complex, the U.S. flag was still catching the wind in a fully raised position.  I thought that odd.  Today it is flying at half-staff.
