Dishonored Ronald Reagan by Not Flying
The U.N. Flag Half-Mast-Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor A short message that says
the United Nations honored Yassar Arafat by flying the U.N. flag at
half-mast, but not honor Ronald Reagan in the same way.
The Truth
It is true that the U.N. flag did not
fly at half-mast when Ronald Reagan died, but it was not an act of
disrespect to Mr. Reagan.
According to the U.N., its flag is flown at half-mast whenever a
world leader dies in office such as Yassar Arafat.
Ronald Reagan did not die in office so the flag was not lowered.
