I hate to seem dense but at home do we just fly the flag regularly, that is, it is not able to be lowered?

We and our neighbors all lowered ours and they will stay that way until President Reagan is put to rest on the hillside at his library. I believe Gov buildings and the like will leave theirs up for one month. I may be wrong. Anybody out there know?

If your flag is on an outrigger flagpole or mounted on a wall and cannot be flown at half-staff, it is appropriate to drape a purple and black mourning ribbon across the flag.

I have one of those 3 X 5 flags on a four foot metal rod mounted into a bracket on our fence by the highway. It is secured to the pole with two plastic ties. I was able to slide it to "half mast" and it makes a very powerful statement. After the funeral on Friday, I may put it back to full mast for a day or so, and then bring it in.
