FILE- In this July 21, 2015 file photo, the American flag is lowered to half-staff above the White House in Washington to honor the five U.S. service members who were killed by a gunman in Chattanooga, Tenn. the week before. Nearly every day somewhere in the country, the Stars and Stripes is flying low, ordered to half-staff in one of the most significant gestures of mourning and respect. An Associated Press analysis of proclamations from 50 state governors and the federal government found flags were ordered lowered at least someplace 325 days out of 2015.
