December 3, 2024 - National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day is Saturday, December 7, 2024.

Although this remembrance day is not a public holiday, public law calls for the American Flag and subordinate flags to be at half-staff from sunrise until sunset on December 7.

If you have a flag that cannot be lowered, you can show respect for the day by tying a black cord or ribbon to the top of the mast.
