The flag should be raised back up from half-staff at sunset on the same day it is lowered, or at noon on Memorial Day, when it is flown at half-staff only until noon and then raised to full staff for the rest of the day. On other occasions, the flag is typically raised back to full-staff at sunset unless otherwise specified by a presidential or gubernatorial order. For example, on Memorial Day, the flag is flown at half-staff from sunrise until noon, then raised briskly to the top of the staff until sunset. In cases of mourning declared by the president or governor, specific durations such as 10 or 30 days may apply, with the flag returned to full-staff after that period or at sunset on the final day.
