Thumbs up Memorial Day Flag Display

Fly the American Flag at Half Staff on Monday 5/30/2011 from Sunrise Until Noon for Memorial Day.

EXCERPT FROM THE US FLAG CODE


Section 7.M
The flag, when flown at half-staff, should be first hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. The flag should be again raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day. On Memorial Day the flag should be displayed at half-staff until noon only, then raised to the top of the staff.


A recent subject of interest with guidelines before the fact.

Also, Flag Day is right asround the corner - June 14th.
