I admit it.
Before Memorial Day, I noticed the US flag at the Buffalo Soldier Monument was unserviceable. I waited until after the holiday, and when I saw it had not been replaced, I sent a note to the Garrison Command. It got fixed, quickly.
It's a 24 hour flag, easy to overlook that sort of thing, but hey, we're an Army post, right?
Retired CNO Admiral Kelso died recently, and military installations have their flags at half-mast in his honor.
Including us. Including the Buffalo Soldier Monument.
Too bad the regimental colors of the 9th and 10th Cavalry regiments, which flank the US flag, were at full-staff.
Being pretty sure the regiments are not in full rebellion against the Republic, I can imagine how this happened. "Joe, we're flying flags at half-staff this week, go make sure the US flag is at half-staff at the monument."
"Yes, sir!"
The morning passes.
