a flag staff is a staff for displaying a flag
Raise the flag briskly to the top of the pole. Pause for just a second, then slowly lower the flag until it is in the center of the pole (literally half staff). Lowering the flag from half staff is the exact opposite. Raise the flag to full staff, pause for a second, then slowly lower the flag all the way.

What are the rules about flying the American Flag
The way you do it is when you attach the flag to the halyard, raise it all the way up and hesitate for a second before you bring it down to half-staff. If it is already up, simply bring it down to half-staff. You never attach the flag to the halyard and simply raise it to half-staff. It always goes to the top first.
The Papal flag should be full staff
The only flag that is never lowered to half-staff is the flag of the United States. This tradition symbolizes that the flag represents the nation as a whole and should always be displayed at full height to honor its ideals and the sacrifices made for it. Additionally, the U.S. flag is seen as a symbol of unity and resilience, which reinforces the decision to keep it at full staff, even during times of mourning.
