AMERICANISM
Know when to fly the U.S. flag at halflstaff

As we celebrate Flag Day in June and Independence Day in
July, a question the Americanism Division at National
Headquarters often receives is when the flag is to be flown at
half-staff. Days in the year that the flag is to be flown at half-staff
include Memorial Day (May), Peace Officer Memorial Day (May),
Patriot Day (Sept.11), National Fallen Fire fighters Memorial
Service (October) and Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day (Dec. 7).
The flag is to be flown at full-staff on Armed Forces Day, Flag
Day, Independence Day and Labor Day. "Unless your state
governor or the president of the United States has a half-staff
proclamation issued, the United States flag is to be displayed at
full staff," said Ann Byars, youth education and civics manager
for the National Americanism Division, during The American can be shared on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
