How to show your respect if your flag mount is not designed to fly at half staff
President Bush, in response to the Virginia Tech killings, called for U.S. flags to be flown at half mast throughout this week. Many private citizens might like to participate in this sign of respect and mourning, but since many have wall-mounted flags that can't be lowered this way, there is an acceptable alternative for anyone wishing to participate. I'm told that the ribbon may also be all-black. It should be the same length as the flag and is usually 2-4 inches in width. It should be attached to the pole just above the flag.
