May 25, 2026 - Half-Staff Alert - Entire United States
We are awaiting President Trump’s official Memorial Day 2026 proclamation. Once it is released by the White House, we will post the proclamation and flag display guidance here.
Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday in May as a day to honor the men and women of the United States Armed Forces who died while serving our country. The traditional Memorial Day flag protocol is to fly the U.S. flag at half-staff until noon, then raise it to full-staff for the remainder of the day.
