Do You Know How to Fly Flags on Memorial Day?

Unlike other periods of national mourning, Memorial Day features a distinct flag etiquette. According to official guidelines from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), compliance requires adherence to a specific timeline:

Sunrise to 11:59 AM, Flag flows at half mask as we mourn and collective grief for the fallen.

11:59 AM, we transition and conclude the mourning period.

Noon, 12 PM, Flag flows at full mask as we celebrate the enduring legacy of those who served.

Sunset, the day long memorial concludes.

Do You Know the Meaning Behind Memorial Day?

Established as a federal holiday on the last Monday of May, Memorial Day is dedicated exclusively to honoring U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the Armed Forces.
Originally designated as “Decoration Day” in the wake of the American Civil War, the observance evolved over the subsequent century into a unified National Day of Remembrance. Today, it stands as a solemn commemoration of the human cost of military service, marked across the country by civic parades, memorial services, and grave-decoration ceremonies at national cemeteries.

Now you know why Monday is so special. Enjoy your Memorial celebration and be safe!
