The post office near me didn't lower the flag to half-staff on the correct day — who do I complain to?

Thanks for your thoughtful letter. You have not asked me a direct question. But my guess is that you want to know if I think the USPS should be half staffing its flag upon occasions not otherwise mentioned in The Flag Code. The answer is yes. Keep in mind that PUBLIC LAW 94 - 344 states The Flag Code " is hereby, established for the use of such civilians or civilian groups or organizations as may not be required to conform with regulations promulgated by one or more executive departments of the Government of the United States." A governmental agency may indeed have its own regulations pertaining to flag display that may differ from The Flag Code. If the USPS is half staffing the flag in situations that follow its own regulations it is not violating The Flag Code. If your post office is following USPS regulations which, for it, take precedence over The Flag Code, then it is correct. I am no judge on whether your post office was correctly following its own regulations. However, The Flag Code is a guide for civilians. It is not always a guide for governmental agencies which may have more specific regulations. Does this information help?
