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.
The Black Mourning Ribbon is a perfect way to show respect, remembrance, and solidarity during times of loss. Its simple yet powerful design carries deep meaning, allowing individuals, organizations, and communities to honor those who have passed with dignity and grace. Crafted with quality materials and a professional appearance, the ribbon serves as a timeless symbol of compassion and support. Whether displayed at memorial services, community events, workplaces, or personal gatherings, it conveys heartfelt sympathy without the need for words. What makes the Black Mourning Ribbon especially meaningful is its universal message of remembrance. It provides a visible expression of respect for loved ones, colleagues, first responders, military members, veterans, and all those whose lives have touched our communities. The ribbon stands as a quiet reminder that while loss may separate us physically, memories and legacies endure. For anyone seeking a respectful and meaningful way to honor the memory of others, the Black Mourning Ribbon is an excellent choice. It is a simple gesture that speaks volumes about compassion, unity, and the enduring power of remembrance.
I have two front porch flags and one bag yard patio 25’’ telescoping flag pole that I couldn’t put at 1/2 mast. The black ribbons came just in time and they all three look good on my flags during this last period of national respect. They are very well made and will last a long time. Thank you for having these and I wish I could send you the photos of them
An item I have been looking for for a while and it was hard to find.
It looks very well made. Unfortunately, I had to put it to use upon arrival.
Good length.
Very good product!
Very classy and solves the problem of how to show respect when your wall mounted flag can’t go to half mast
Very nice a good look
I am sorry for the negative comment on the mourning ribbon however it needs to be in two separate pieces one for each side and somehow make the connection a little longer it causes the flag to furl on a non furl flag and flagpole because it a just to tight and won’t unfurl with flag.
