Given the content of responses to this query, I wonder if the original
phrasing of the question might have been something like "which
locations never *lower* the US flag to half-staff."

This would make it something of a trick question.  Locations where the
flag was always flown at half-staff would never need to lower it to
that point, unless raising the flag to full height, and subsequently
lowering it, were part of a prescribed procedure.
