Seen on the bulletin board at the Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery on Capitol Hill in Seattle. Thank you to whoever posted this and took the time to rightfully put the cemetery’s flag at half-staff.

I wonder if they posted the notice of the death of a Supreme Court Justice to help people know why the flag was at half-staff. There have been times that I have seen flags at half-staff and did not know why.

That’s a good theory. I want to believe that someone was just showing respect for a man who, like the Union veterans buried there, fought to keep his country and Constitution intact.
