One Marine’s View proposes lowering the flag to half mast for one day for each soldier who dies in war.

i thought of the same thing, but with the average weekly deaths numbering 9, we’re running a deficit here. So I decided to leave my flag at half mast until the last kid is home and out of harms way. Walt

That would be wonderful if we could do that but it is just not realistic. I wish that we had better ways to honor fallen veterans. In the past in times of war we have had hundreds and sometimes even thousands of fallen marines in a month so I don’t think that is possible but I like Walter Kent’s idea.
