Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I understand that the flag is to be flown at half staff on Memorial Day until noon and then raised to full staff. I presume that the flag is flown at full staff all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 We don't have a flag pole, but our flag flies in front of our home 24/7 (yes, its lite up at night). Highest regards to our men amd women who have died serving. Of course we always honor the same with those who have amd are serving today.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Dont worry so much about etiquette Badger------ Show the colors!!!!! tiEtiquettequette It's not just etiquette. It's the US Flag code Title 4 Chapter 1 Sec 7m ..On Memorial Day the flag should be displayed at half-staff until noon only, then raised to the top of the staff.

Better somethin' than nothin'...of course, if there's a pole utilized the code should be utilized. GG ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The American Legion and the VFW also sold poppies. Everybody in town would sport a poppy. I seldom see them any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 UB was somehow able to instruct me: If you have a flag pole that doesn't allow you to fly the flag at half mast, black ribbons can be used to signify mourning. Salute to all our veterans, living and dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salute to all our veterans, living and dead. My dad used to set the front door flag to horizontal for mourning and return it to 45 deg up for normal at noon and I have continued that practice... till this postI did not know that it was wrong as most folks that had door flags in our area did the same. but in truth I do seem to be the only person doing it that way these days... thanks for the heads up.

Salute to all our veterans, living and dead. Not required (no mention of it in the Flag Code) - however, it is a good sentiment. http://www.law.corne...uscode/4/7.html http://www.usflag.org/uscode36.html and http://www.va.gov/opa/speceven/memday/ GG ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
