USPS: U.S. FLAG AT HALF STAFF FOR MEMORIAL DAY

U.S. FLAG AT HALF STAFF FOR MEMORIAL DAY. In remembrance of those who died in our nation’s service, fly the U.S. flag at half staff on Memorial Day, Mon., May 30. When flying the flag at half staff, it should be first hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. The flag should be raised to the peak again before it is lowered for the day. On Memorial Day the flag should be displayed at half-staff until noon only, then raised to the top of the staff. Memorial Day also is one of six days each year the POW-MIA flag is to be flown.
