Half-staff flag of Nassau Financial Group: I went online and tried to find the reason we were all in mourning on 23 Sep 2021, and couldn't find anything at the state or federal level. The previous applicable order was for the U.S. flag on the anniversary of 9/11. The flags across the street are at full height. Maybe Nassau Financial Group is having a hard time keeping maintenance staff for some reason!
