Greeting My Neighbors,

To honor Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, Please lower OUR United States flag to half-staff at Sunrise Friday, December 7, 2018. Flags should remain lowered until sunset on December 30th due to the prior half-staffing of OUR flag in honor of President George H.W. Bush.

If you cannot lower your flag to half-staff, you can place a black ribbon on the flag. See the attached picture.
