Hi guys,
I have a few questions. I am the building manager for a building that has companies from different countries in it. We have seven flags on seven different poles representing the companies countries including of course an American flag. These flags stay up day and night with the American flag being lit at night. I know the proper etiquette for raising and lowering the American flag when it is supposed to be at half staff. I also know no flag is to be higher then the American flag. Today our flag was supposed to be at half staff in honor of the burial of the last World War I veteran. Since the American flag is on its own pole are the other six flags on individual polls supposed to be lowered to half staff also?
Another question. Since the American flag is lit at night it stays up 24/7. When I lower it to half staff is it proper to just lower it and when I raise it back up, is it proper to just raised or am I to bring it to the bottom of the poll and then position it properly?
Thanks for your help guys I just want to make sure I'm doing it properly.
