Across the USA, Our Flag flies at full staff - except in Wisconsin and Colorado.
Wisconsin's governor called for Our Flag at half-staff in WI to honor PFC Ethan Barclay-Weberpal, a member of the United States Marine Corps and a native of Janesville, Wisconsin.
In Colorado, the Stars and Stripes flies at half-staff and will remain so until the funeral for Adams County Deputy Heath Gumm.

The Beacon of Honor - Awakens Our Flag to Inform and Inspire Patriotic Citizens
with today's 'Military Monday' memory
On this 'Military Monday', we honor the United States Coast Guard. On January 28 of 1915 by Act of Congress, today's modern Coast Guard was created by combining the Revenue Cutter Service with the U.S. Life-Saving Service under the Department of the Treasury. It's motto, Semper Paratus, mean 'Always Ready'. As a member of the United States' five armed forces, the Coast Guard has participated in every U.S. war dating back to birth in 1790. The Coast Guard has approximately 35,000 active duty personnel and another 7,500 reservists. It is our smallest military service, but still ranks as about the 12th largest naval service in the world by itself.
And, today's quote providing #MondayMotivation ...
