Should flags be raised halfway on September 11?

It would be helpful to know what the proper flag etiquette is for this upcoming sad anniversary.

Any thoughts?

I would think so.

I have to admit that I am not so informed of the appropriate display on this day . For the last 3 years when the wife and I bought this home

I've flown her @ full mast regardless . I put up a new flag per 60 day's or less . I really should re-learn the proper tradition's indeed .

My attitude is good or bad she will fly high and in the wind .

The Flag in Mourning To place the flag at half staff, hoist it to the peak for an instant and lower it to a position half way between the top and bottom of the staff. The flag is to be raised again to the peak for a moment before it is lowered.

On Memorial Day the flag is displayed at half staff until noon and at full staff from noon to sunset.

The flag is to be flown at half staff in mourning for designated, principal government leaders and upon presidential or gubernatorial order.

____________________________________________________________ The President has not issued an order regarding flying the flag on 9-11-02 yet.

I think flags should be at half staff on Sept 11th. I know ours will be. I don't think anyone passing by will have to wonder why it is either, we will all know.
