The North American term for the position of a flag lowered to the middle of a flagpole as a mark of respect or mourning — what the British call half-mast. Used in the United States, Canada, and the Philippines. The distinction between half-staff (on land) and half-mast (at sea) is sometimes maintained in formal usage.
Flags across the country were ordered to fly at half-staff following the announcement.
