September 7, 2015 - In honor of Patriot’s Day and the over 3000 people who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 all Flags should be flown at half-staff on Friday, September 11until sunset. Be sure to lower all flags as no flag should ever fly higher that the US Flag. If you have a flag that cannot be lowered you can tie a black ribbon or cord at the top to show respect for the day.
