Etiquette As we observe Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who died in service to our country. In accordance with the U.S. Flag Code, flags will be flown at half-staff from sunrise until 12:00 p.m., then raised to full-staff for the remainder of the day.
Established as an official federal holiday in 1971, Memorial Day is dedicated to honoring the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Guardians and Marines who have fallen in the line of duty.
It serves as a day of remembrance, a time to reflect on the values of freedom and patriotism that these individuals secured for us, and sacrificed their lives for.
The flag etiquette on Memorial Day is more specific than other days of honor.
At sunrise, the flag is raised briskly to full staff.
Then, after sunrise, the flag is lowered to half staff and remains in that position until noon. This period of half staff serves as a visible sign of mourning and remembrance.
At noon, in a symbolic shift from mourning to the reaffirmation of patriotism, the flag is raised back to full staff for the remainder of the day. In instances where it is not possible to display the flag at half staff, proper etiquette requires that you attach a black mourning ribbon to the flag. This small but significant detail acknowledges the day in a different way because half staff cannot be achieved.
