Memorial Day – May 30, 2016 | ||||
On Memorial Day the flag is raised briskly to the top of the staff and then solemnly lowered to the half-staff position, where it remains only until noon. It is then raised to full-staff for the remainder of the day.
The half-staff position remembers the more than one million men and women who gave their lives in service of their country. At noon their memory is raised by the living, who resolve not to let their sacrifice be in vain, but to rise up in their stead and continue the fight for liberty and justice for all. Thinking of you on Memorial Day “And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” — John F. Kennedy |
