The Presidential directive carried half staff through to July 5th, IIRC. Mine will be proudly displayed at half staff.

Also, if the flag is fixed on a pole (and as such can not be at "half-staff"), I found that a few sources, including the American Legion, that says to either fix a black bow at the top of the pole or to put a black streamer on the top of the pole. Both are to use material near the width of the stripes on the flag, and a length the same as the flag.
This isn't in the flag code, but I've seen this displayed before. I personally have a black streamer on the top of the pole that meets the above specs.

I'm going to fly ours proudly at half staff as well. Nice choice of words "Half Staff". Old argument about Half mast applying to Ships, and half staff applying to shore, but it probably really doesn't matter, I just like that term.

(Fly it proudly for about 365 days each year.)
