Thank you for this enlightenment!! Who knew? And the typical instruction sheets don't tell you that the horizontal position is for half mast ceremonies!!

I always thought that was a way to have the flag not get caught in the gutters... Duh

Don’t let them steal your self worth-fly your flag the way you see fit

Move to house with a longer pole?

Move? Just so I can "properly fly my flag at half staff?

Once again... No...

I guess I'll just take my flag down that day, as not to inflict any undue harm to anyone's delicate sensibilities...[/QUOTE]

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.
halfstaff.org maintains a website with proper daily U.S. flag protocol.

Why are you simply quoting my post with no additional comment?
