Petition to amend the US Flag Code to have flags lowered for a day for each soldier who dies in war

Honor Our Fallen Service Members

An American soldier serving in Afghanistan recently wrote an op-ed piece which has stirred up a national debate. The soldier asked an important question: Why we do not lower the flag to half mast when a soldier dies at war?

Here at AFSCME, we could not agree more. We should honor our fallen service members.

Sign our petition to amend the US Flag Code to have flags lowered for a day each time an American service member dies at war.

Fill out the form at right and let your Congressperson know you are in support of this petition.
