Memorial Day!
Happy Memorial Day! While many view today as a celebration of the beginning of summer, this holiday was established to commemorate those killed in military service to our country. It is traditional to fly the flag today. The flag should be flown at half-staff from dawn until noon - local time.
Did you know that when flying the flag at half-staff it should first be raised to full-staff and then lowered? Did you also know that although there is a flag code, rules and regulation regarding the flag, there is no actual law enforcement of these rules?!
