When to fly American flag at half-mast?

Want to make sure you are proudly flying your American flag at half-mast at the right time? If so, this blog is for you.

Want to know when you should be flying your American flag at half-mast?  Sign up here for an email from the American Legion that tells you when it is time. http://www.legion.org/flag/notification.

Also, any veterans in the neighborhood who would like to check out the local American Legion Post (#134 on Dempster in Morton Grove), please send me a note.  I am an active Legion member and would be glad to introduce you to how we serve veterans and the community.
