Moment of Remembrance As proclaimed each year by the President of the United States of America, Memorial Day is a day of prayer for permanent peace. All Americans are asked to observe the National Moment of Remembrance beginning at 3:00 p.m. local time on Memorial Day.	Flag Code Excerpt "The flag, when flown at half-staff, should be first hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. The flag should be again raised to the peak 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."	Who Made Your Flag? Not all American flags are made in the United States of America! You can be assured the US flags we sell at Gettysburg Flag Works are ALL made in the USA. Help keep American workers employed by buying only American made American flags! The Soldiers who serve under this flag will appreciate it too.

How to fly your flag at Half Staff
What sort of flag pole are you using?

When raising the flag to half staff on a vertical pole, always raise it briskly to the top of the flagpole for a moment before lowering it. When taking it down for the night, raise it to the top of the flagpole again & lower it to the bottom.

With a telescoping flag pole it is acceptable to put the USA flag on the second set of rings instead of the top set. In this case the top set would be left empty.

When the United States flag is flown at half-staff, State & other flags should be removed or flown at half-s

taff too.

For flags that can't be lowered, such as those on many homes, the American Legion says that attaching a black ribbon or streamer to the top of the flag is an acceptable alternative. The ribbon should be the same width as a stripe on the flag and the same length as the flag.
