President Trump has ordered flags flown at half-staff April 6 to honor the late astronaut and U.S. Sen. John Glenn, who will be interred at Arlington National Cemetery.
Glenn died late last year.
To fly the flag at half-staff, hoist the flag to the peak for an instant and then lower it to the half-staff position. The flag should be raised to the peak again before it’s lowered for the day.
For additional information, refer to the Postal Service’s guidelines on U.S. flag display and maintenance.
