Flag at half-staff, in Provo, Utah.
Today, May 15, is designated Peace Officers Memorial Day by a joint resolution of Congress and by Presidential Proclamation.
Fly flags today, at half-staff all day, if you can, to honor fallen peace officers.
Dry your flag tonight: tomorrow, May 16, is Armed Forces Day, another flag-flying date.
