Half Staff of US Flag for Memorial Day Rules!!

HisPony

Wondering where I am!?!?
Half-Staff Alert!

May 25th, 2009 • Memorial Day

Please fly your American flag at half staff on this day from sun up, to 12 Noon in honor of the U.S. men and women who have died in military service to their country.

When the United States flag is flown at half-staff, State & other flags should be removed or flown at half-staff too.

If your flag can't fly at Half-Staff:

For flags that can't be lowered, such as those on many homes, the American Legion says that attaching a black ribbon or streamer to the top of the flag is an acceptable alternative. The ribbon should be the same width as a stripe on the flag and the same length as the flag.

Also, please remember that the flag is raised to its full height, then placed at half-staff, and returned to full staff before being lowered.
