Flying the flag at half staff on a home wall mounted flagpole kit or indoor flag staff.
While there is no official citation for this, over time it has become an accepted practice to use a "Mourning ribbon" on home flag staffs where the flag cannot be lowered. Typically, the ribbon is purple or purple and black, and is attached to the pole at the top of the flag. The mourning ribbon is usually 2' - 3' in length x 2" - 4" wide. It can be made of any material, although nylon will hold up to the weather.

the theory that for the period of straightforward terms the Texas and Hawaii flags, that are the two former national flags (Texas being the Republic of Texas, and Hawaii being the dominion of Hawaii), may well be flown at an equivalent top to the U.S. flag is a legend. while exhibiting the U.S. Flag, this is widespread for it to be above a state's flag while flown on a similar pole. while flown one after the different, a state's flag may well be on a similar top because of the fact the U.S. flag, with the U.S. flag to the left of the state flag, from the perspective of the viewer. Is Texas's the only state flag allowed to fly on a similar top because of the fact the U. S. flag? No, this is an city legend. All state flags could fly on a similar top because of the fact the U.S. flag. The U.S. flag must be on its precise (the viewer's left), despite the fact that. Texas's regulations are consistent with those of the different states. (See Texas flag code.)

No, yet you should invest in a staff if you wish to render the proper honors when displaying the flag.
As for the individual that said "burn it". First go to China and try to burn their flag and let me know how you made out.

You can just place a black banner on the same pole. You do not have to place it at half staff. To tell the truth do people really look at that? I doubt it.

I think it will be fine to leave it up. After all, I doubt that President Ford would want American flags taken down in his honor. I'm sure he would rather them fly high and proud for him. But, I think it was very respectful of you to want to do the right thing. Not many people these days seem to worry about things like that. Thanks.

The American legion says to place three black bows on top of flag on one each corner and one in the center.

It's nice that you want it at half mast for President Ford.
I like the idea of the black banner.
All the sarcastic people in here should move to Iraq.

Hang it upside down, as our country falls to the will of a madman, George Bush.
