The Beacon of Honor - Awakens Our Flag ... to Inform and Inspire Citizens ...
TODAY'S FLAG STATUS:
Our Flag flies at full staff across the USA except in New York. The Governor of New York called for half-staff of flags on all state buildings to honor Buffalo Police Officer Craig Lehner, who died in a police dive training accident. Amazingly, local police expect more than 7,500 police from all over the USA and Canada to join them in honoring Office Lehner.
