Show Off the American Flag
Of course, the simple and most powerful way to show your support and respect is to hang a flag outside of your home. Some people choose to add small (miniature) flags in their garden or landscaping.
If you wish to show a full-size flag, follow the “Memorial Day” guidance which states that the flag should remain at half-staff from sunrise until noon. After noon, raise the flag to full-staff to symbolize that our nation is still living. Not only is this a nice idea to show support in the community, but it’s also a personalized touch to honor any friend or family member who fought for our country.
