In inconvenience is the only honor. The American flag should be slowly retreated at sunset and smartly raised at sunrise. To hang it like a forgotten rag is offensive.
On the morning of Memorial Day, the flag should be briskly raised to the peak for an instant, then slowly lowered to half-staff, where it remains until noon. At the stroke of 12, the flag is briskly hoisted to the peak again, where it remains until sunset, when it is slowly retired (unless adequately lit for night display).
4 U.S. Code 1 § 6 - Time and occasions for display
(a) It is the universal custom to display the flag only from sunrise to sunset on buildings and on stationary flagstaffs in the open. However, when a patriotic effect is desired, the flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness.
(b) The flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered ceremoniously.
(c) The flag should not be displayed on days when the weather is inclement, except when an all weather flag is displayed.
Proper flag protocol. I went on a kick a little while back watching reactions to this from outside the US. Was pretty inspiring. Folks get it, no matter where they are from. Patriots are world wide fren. The show goes on.

Thanks. I was American Legion Post Commander until the PLANdemic when I resigned for the Legion’s failure to #RESIST
I have no idea what that is supposed to mean, “lowered to the enemy.”
