What year Eisenhower issue a proclamation stating when to fly the flag at half staff?
I looked this up and the only thing Eisenhower did with the flag is set the design in 1959. The flag act in 1942 gave guidance on how to fly the flag, but it made it voluntary for those flying the flag. I found nothing specifically mentioning half staff flying of the flag. It seems this is just came out as a way to honor someone or an event that has impacted the society. More or less like tying a ribbon around a tree. Nothing makes it official, but something everyone has adapted as a response to an event.
