My difficulty is (and has almost always been), "How do you fly flag at half-staff when you're displaying on a pole affixed at a 45-degree angle from the home's wall?" I think I've seen that you need a fixture that will allow the flag to be parallel to the ground ("half-staff"), then at a 45-degree angle ("full-staff") but I don't have such a fixture.

Hope all TOTV-ers will come out on Monday for the ceremonies at Veteran's Memorial Park in Spanish Springs.

The fixture that I put on the side of the house has a slot to put the flag at "Half staff" (parallel to the ground).
