Fly your flag today for Memorial Day.
On Memorial Day, flags should be flown at half-staff until noon, then raised to full staff (and retired at sunset).
Just a reminder: When posting a flag to half-staff, it should be raised with gusto to full staff, then slowly lowered to the half-staff position. On Memorial Day, when changing the flag’s position at noon, simply raise the flag briskly to full staff. At retirement, the flag should be lowered in a stately fashion.

I’m happy when people fly the flag. That’s a good start.
Happier when proper flag etiquette is observed. Cub Scouts are watching and learning.

Oh, thanks for the rules! A neighbor down the street flies a flag with a nice flag pole and I always wonder if he treats it properly.
