Letters: Memorial Day flag etiquette

Please join with me in properly displaying your flags for Memorial Day.

Memorial Day is designed to honor “All gave some. Some gave all” of our armed services past and present.

The flag on Monday morning will be raised to full staff and then lowered to half stay that morning in honor of those who gave all.

At noon on Monday, the flag will return to full staff to honor all others who have served or who are serving.

If we are willing to honor our nation’s flag by flying it, let us resolve to fly it correctly and with respect.

Light it at night and only fly it in good condition.

Thank you.

Mitchell G. Davenport
