Yes, flags are lowered on 9/11. If you have a flag on your residence but don't have a way to bring it half way down then it's respectful to attach a black ribbon at the top of the pole.

there's a way to lower a flag that's attached to your house....involves a black streamer....just google it....

In my opinion flags should be lowered only upon the death of a President of past President.

We lower them for too many things now.  The flag should stand tall at all times for what we believe in and cherish--except for when one of our leaders passes.

Yes, I agree.  Around here, flags are at lowered more often than not.  We might as well keep them at half-staff permanently.  But, having said that, I don't know the protocol for 9/11.

By a joint resolution approved by Congress on 12/18/2001, (Public Law 107-89) September 11th of each year has been designated as “Patriot Day”. This law also directs flags be lowered to half-staff on September 11th.

@Johnnyeager,

Thank you for posting that.

I think it is a wonderful way to always pay tribute. 

but either way up or lowered, wouldn't it be great if all across America we could see the flags,

all together as one nation!
