When an official proclamation is made for the American flag to be lowered to half-staff there are several flag flying situations which make it virtually impossible to comply. For example it is impossible to lower the American flag to half-staff in the following applications:
Telescoping Flagpoles
Flag Set on the Wall of Your House
Indoor Floor Stand Flag Set
The accepted solution is to tie a long black ribbon to the top of the flagpole allowing it to drape over the American flag. Our Black Mourning Ribbon is hemmed on all four sides and made with the same fade resistant invista nylon 66 used in our commercial quality Endura-Nylon American flags.
This ribbon/streamer is of the highest quality and perfect for the mounted pole.
Since we cannot lower our flag, the black mourning ribbon is the perfect solution for us.
I like these since I cannot lower my flag half staff. I wish we didn't have these crises that call for using them, but I appreciate being able to honor those who have passed.
Exactly what I was looking for, arrived quickly and in great condition.
It is a beautiful reminder to all about the woman who lived here and gave all for her family, wife, mother and friend. She is terribly missed and this ribbon commemorating her passing will always remain flying.
The Mourning Ribbon is very good. Easy to attached to the flags staff.
Just what I was looking for...Super fast shipping also!
Urge my friends to adere to the mourning streamers
I did not know what the proper procedure was for flying my house mounted American Flag in times of National Mourning. Thanks to American Flag I now know the proper procedure and was able to purchase the Black Mourning Ribbons. Makes me feel proud to be able to do so properly. I also appreciate the email notification when it is in fact time to fly at half-mast.
