Default Memorial Day Flag Protocol
On Memorial Day, the U.S. flag should be flown at half-mast from sunrise until noon. After noon, the U.S. flag should then be raised to full height from noon to sundown.

For the first half of Memorial Day this unique custom honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation having died in war and then honors living veterans for the remainder of the day.
