Flag Laws and Regulations By Executive Order, the flag flies 24 hours a day at the following locations: See: http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html#3 The flag should be displayed on all days, especially on Memorial Day (half-staff until noon), the last Monday in May. See: http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html#3 All the sites about the American flag say there are only two places the American flag is never flown at half-staff. The Moon and In Battle. See: http://www.petersonflags.com/flaginfo.htm http://www.geocities.com/sary2k/FlagPg.html However, they go on to contradict themselves (I think) by mentioning a third. Everywhere after 12:00 noon on Memorial Day. See: http://www.thegentree.com/dar/ketoctin/Ketpg4.html http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html I could only find a trivia site that says different. Arlington National Cemetery The USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor The Betsy Ross House The Alamo The moon http://www.hereintown.com/trivia.htm#Halfstaff It keeps the American flag at Arlington at half-staff all day, every day except weekends. See: http://www.arlingtoncemetery.com/every-day.htm Arlington is wrong, I saw a picture of the USS Arizona Memorial with the flag at half-staff, so that's wrong. The Betsy Ross House web site says the flag is flown at half-staff. Someone else can find a source about the Alamo and Iwo Jima, but I think the flags there are flown at half-staff as well.

FunBobby says: This website has many places listed .. including The White House,Arlington Cemetary and The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (all not lowered as they are already there to commemorate the dead)Another flag is the one at The Alamo which is nailed on and therefore never lowered to half staff. www.fotw.ca/flags/faq3.html Fri Mar 29 15:11:39 CST 2002 (Delete Entry) (Moved from #17756 - Duplicate question - McG) Apr 14 02, 9:40 PM

Where are the crew of the Arizona, the US ship that was sunk in Pearl Harbor, buried? How long did the attack on Pearl Harbor last? Did FDR know about the attack on Pearl Harbor before it occurred? Why is the Royal Standard never flown at half-mast?
