Respect Old Glory; follow flag etiquette
It is always gratifying to see homes displaying the American flag. Many homes display every day, and additional homes show their flags on holidays, such a Veteran’s Day. Every once in a while it is requested that the flag be flown at half-staff.
Flags mounted to homes usually use one of two metal brackets. One of these brackets has two spots where the flag pole may be mounted – one that has the pole at an upward angle and the other which allows the flag pole to be horizontal. This horizontal position is for displaying the flag at half-staff. When it is requested that the flag be flown at half-staff, the lower portion of the bracket should be used.
