How can I show mourning if my flag is on a fixed pole or staff and can't be half-staffed?

The officail flag rules make no provisions for this. However, army regulations state, "A streamer of black crepe 7 feet long and 1 foot wide will be attached to the staff immediately below the spearhead of the U.S. flag."

This question was answered by Jeremy Petersen.
