Are you flying a flag at your home or business? Do you want to ensure you are following proper protocol when the flag is ordered to fly at half-staff.

The American Legion can send you text alerts when the president declares flags to be lowered to half-staff.

To receive these text alerts, simply text the word "flag" to 534466. You will receive a confirmation text within a few minutes.

The service is free but message and data rates may apply.

Additionally, the Legion distributes an e-newsletter when a flag proclamation is issued by the president. To sign up for the free e-newsletter, go to www.legion.org/enewsletters.
