USPS facilities should fly the U.S. flag at half-staff for National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service Day on Sunday, Oct. 3.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Postal Service facilities that are open Sundays should fly the U.S. flag at half-staff on Oct. 3, which is National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service Day.<\/p>\n

USPS facilities that fly the flag at all times and are closed Sundays should lower the flag to half-staff when the facility closes prior to National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service Day. Return the flag to full staff when the facility next opens for business.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s lowered for the day.<\/p>\n

The USPS Administrative Support Manual has guidelines on U.S. flag display<\/span><\/a> and maintenance<\/span><\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
