At CollinsFlags.com we think flying the US flag every day is the ultimate way to show your patriotism; however, for some, flying every day is not always a good option. There are also certain days we fly our flags at half mast to show respect for the heroes that paid a huge price so that we all can live in a world of freedom and opportunity. There are others days we are encouraged to fly our flags as a celebration of things that make us the greatest country on Earth. The following is a list of flag flying days along with instructions on when to fly at half-mast. Feel free to give us a call at 800-950-4061 for more information and Happy Flying!
