Don't get me wrong, the death of Whitney Houston is horrible; I grew up listening to her and think she was one of the greatest singers of all time.
That being said, the New Jersey flag should not be lowered to half staff in her honor. That is an honor reserved for those that have served their country; not celebrities.
Both of my girls are proud veterans and it saddens me to see a governor use this sacred symbol to honor someone who has never donned the uniform. Using past violations to justify this action is weak. Honor Whitney Houston in a way that doesn't disrespect the men and women who have served your country.
