When you are raising flags on two or three flag poles, the Flag of the United States is the only flag that needs to be raised to the top of the pole, before bringing it down to Half Staff. All other flags only need to be brought to Half Staff. When lowering the flags, bring the other flags down before starting on the US Flag which should be brought up to Full Staff and then lowering it to the ground. When raising the American Flag, raise it at a FAST pace, but when lowering it, bring it down at a SLOW pace.
