Thanks for the info. I didn’t know that the 1/2 staff lasts only til noon on Memorial Day.
In 1999, my next door neighbor commanded the honor guard at the major league all-star game at Fenway Park. He was a reserve Army officer and former Marine officer. He also looked like a Marine officer from central casting, so for the all-star game the Marine Corps agreed to allow him to wear a Marine dress uniform. Former Marine Ted Williams called him over and shook his hand on nationwide and international live television. What a life experience!
You can be Damned-sure I got my flag protocol squared away when displaying the flag on Memorial Day.
