8. When the flag of the United States of America is displayed in a manner other than from a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right, i. e. to the observer's left. When displayed in a window it should be displayed the same way, i.e., with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street. When festoons, rosettes, or drapings are desired, bunting of blue, white, and red should be used, but never the flag.

MEMORIAL DAY

A.M.

PM.

12. When flown at half-staff, the flag should be hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position; but before lowering the flag for the day it should be raised again to the peak. By half-staff is meant hauling down the flag to onehalf the distance between the top and the bottom of the staff. If local conditions require, divergence from this position is permissible. On Memorial Day, May 30, the flag is displayed at half-staff from sunrise until noon and at full-staff from noon until sunset; for the Nation lives, and the flag is the symbol of the living Nation.

13. Flags flown from fixed staffs are placed at halfstaff to indicate mourning. When the flag is displayed on a small staff, as when carried in parade, mourning is indicated by attaching two streamers of black crepe to the spear head, allowing the streamers to fall naturally. Crepe is used on the flag-staff only by order of the President.
