What authority did you use for the Memorial Day flag etiquette?

As a daughter of a Vietnam Vet, it saddens me to see stores like Walmart disrespect the American flag. The flag should not be the latest design for shorts, flip flops, and t-shirts!

OK I got what to do with a US flag. But heres a stumper. What do you do with worn out and ragged STATE flags? I recieved one Oregon state flag. It was really fun to dispaly it when we were touring the country because many people had never seen an Oregon flag before. But now it is worn out and faded.

“On Memorial Day, the flag should be flown at half-staff until mid-day… The flag should be again raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day.”
If the flag is fully raised at noon, it does not require it to be raised again before lowering… makes no sense. Thanks for the proper etiquette information.

I’m proud to know many American hero’s who have fought to keep this country free.
