MaryLou, I know I&#39;m a little late, but here&#39;s an answer for what it&#39;s worth:<br /><br /> If your flag can&#39;t fly at Half-Staff:<br /><br />                +  For flags that can&#39;t be lowered, such as those on many homes, the American Legion says that attaching a black ribbon or streamer to the top of the flag is an acceptable alternative. The ribbon should be the same width as a stripe on the flag and the same length as the flag. <br />                  <br />                +  For a wall mounted flag, three black mourning bows should be attached to the top edge of the flag, one at each corner and one in the center.<br />
