May 20, 2024 - Memorial Day is Monday, May 27th, 2024. United States Flags should be flown at half-staff from sunrise until noon. All banks, schools, businesses, government offices, and citizens who fly a US flag that can be lowered are asked to please do so in honor of those Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice. All other flags flying with the US Flag should also be lowered.
If you fly a flag that can’t be lowered, you can still show respect for the day by tying a black cord or ribbon to the top of the flagpole. It, too, should be removed at noon.
If you anticipate not being able to lower your flag at sunrise, it is permissible to lower it the night before. This way, your flag will be in place at sunrise, ready to honor the memory of our fallen heroes.
