Peace Officers' Memorial Day is in honor of the brave men and women lost in the line of duty.
As a mark of respect, the American flag is flow at half-staff on May 15th every year.
Here are a few simple steps to follow:
- At sunrise, raise your flag to the top of the staff then pause at full staff before lowering to half-staff.
- At sunset, raise your flag to the top of the staff then pause at full staff before lowering it and unhooking the flag.
- Fly State, County and all other flags at half-staff.
For flags that can't be lowered to half-staff, you can add a mourning ribbon to pay your respects.
