Fly flags at half-staff to honor shooting victims

- Advertisement -

President Donald Trump has ordered U.S. flags flown at half-staff to honor the victims of this week’s mass shooting in Minneapolis.

Flags should be flown at half-staff until Sunday, Aug. 31, at sunset.

To fly the flag at half-staff, hoist the flag to the peak for an instant and then lower it to the half-staff position. The flag should be raised to the peak again before it’s lowered for the day.

The USPS Administrative Support Manual has additional guidelines on U.S. flag display and maintenance.
