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).
