Greensboro, NC -- If you've passed any government buildings today, you might wonder why the flags are being flown at half-staff.

Here's your answer:

Former President John F. Kennedy designated May 15th as Peace Officers' Memorial Day.

The day, part of National Police Week, was designed to honor the dedicated men and women of law enforcement who lost their lives in the line of duty.
