[ Note: Flag Steward proves it is the most accurate and complete listing of half-staffs (National, State, & Local) again: HalfStaff.org (missing all state orders), Flags Express (missing MI&CO), Flag Notify (missing CO, KY, TN, & IA), Colonial Flag app (missing CO, TN, IA, & MA), and Legacy (missing CO, KY, TN, & IA) are all missing one or more Governor ordered half-staffs today - plus other local ones. Also, FlagsExpress is still showing half-staff in Harris County, Texas, but that ended 2 days ago, Wed., Oct. 2, when Deputy Dahliwal was laid to rest. ]
