Memorial Day weekend is marked by family, friends, food, and fun in the sun. Oh, and of course, there's a fervor for flying ...

There are five days in 2025 when flags are scheduled to be flown at half-staff. It's half-mast if you're on a ship.

In the White House press release, the president ordered that flags be returned to half-staff in honor of the late President Carter.

American Legion posts and other veteran groups often have flag-disposal ceremonies. Observing proper etiquette is equally important at Memorial Day services at cemeteries and other venues.
