On Memorial Day the US Flag is lowered to half staff only until noon to honor the war dead of all US wars. The Flag is raised to full staff at noon to show that the nation lives. The US Flag is considered to be a living entity representing a living nation. This is stated in the US Code, Title 36, Chapter 10 § 176.
