yup unless you catch it on fire
There are no specific rules regarding smoking while lowering the US flag. However, out of respect for the flag and the solemnity of the act, it is generally discouraged to engage in any distracting behavior, including smoking, while performing flag-lowering ceremonies. It is best to give full attention and show proper reverence during the process.
The bugle call that accompanies the daily lowering of the flag on a US military base is called 'Retreat'.
The opposite of 'Hoisting the flag' is 'Lowering the flag'.
I thing the answer can be lowering the flag.
Retreat is played for the lowering of the colors(flag). TAPS has nothing to do with the lowering of the flag, this is played at multiple ceremonies and around 2200 HOURS(Lights Out).
Lowering
no
Lowering, taking down, striking.
Taps now is played by the military at burial and memorial services, to accompany the lowering of the flag and to signal the "lights out" command at day's end. Take out lowering of the flag and this is correct. Retreat is played for the lowering of the flag. Most military bases I've been on play TAPS at 2200 HOURS(10pm).
Flag Lowering
Retreat is played during the lowering of the colors(flag). TAPS(Lights Out) is not.
it is TAPS If this question pertains to a military base during the lowering of the colors(flag), then this awnser is wrong. Retreat is played for the lowering of the colors and TAPS is played around 2200 HOURS(Lights Out)
