In observance of Memorial Day (5/27), which commemorates
the men and women who died while in the military service,
a President's Proclamation has been made to lower all American flags
to half staff from sunrise until NOON only, returning to full staff
after 12:00pm.
In addition, 5/27 is also designated as a
Day of Prayer for Permanent Peace
11:00am (local time): Time when people might unite in prayer.
3:00pm (local time): Time for all Americans to observe,
in their own way, the National Moment of Remembrance.

Thank you. I always put the flag up on Memorial Day and other patriotic holidays. However, I won't be observing the "half-staff" order because I can't do that with my flag.

Same here!
I bought the flag and pole here from Q last yr. and didn't realize it couldn't go to half staff.
Of course, installed the TALL pole b4 I figured it out! Rats!
I do remove it totally on these days as that is what I read protocol is. You can also get a black 'Mourning' scarf to drape...a friend did and 2 blew away b4 she gave up.
Thanks again for posting!!!

If one has a permanent mount for their American Flag display,
to observe a half-staff Proclamation, a suggestion would be a
black mourning ribbon tied to the top. It’s not ‘right’ or ‘wrong’
but just an option for the permanent mount flags.
