It's Flag day here in the USA. I did some research on the history of Flag Day, and according to USFlag.org,
the day traces its orgins to the 1880s as a day to honor the American Flag. Many people raise their flags on holidays such as this, as well as Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Independence Day and other holidays. I've also seen flags lowered to half mast on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks to honor all who passed on that day in 2001.
As seen in these two pictures, the flag flies prominently at the Renaissance Center and at Comerica Park, respectively. The flags at the RenCen were at Half Mast for Memorial Day, to honor all veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the USA. The flag at Comerica Park was taken during the Tigers Home Opener festivities in April of this year.
