When the US flag is mounted or hanging where it cannot be lowered to half-staff, the proper way to indicate mourning is by affixing a black ribbon or bow just above the flag and below the ornament or spearhead. This 16-inch black mourning bow is made of nylon, making it durable and usable for indoor and outdoor flags. Please note this is the mourning bow only, flagpole kit and flag are sold separately.

I purchased this to be used on an indoor flag pole used at monthly local veterans gatherings. I wanted to honor the passing of Senator John McCaiin a Vietnam POW and US Navy Veteran. I have an outdoor flagpole that I fly Our Flag with the POW/MIA 24/7. The Mourning Bow will be kept at the facility where the veteran gatherings take place for any future memorial service. The veterans in attendance approved of the Mourning Bow.

I ordered 2 bows, one for the US flag and the other for the 'thin blue line' flag. I can not put the flags at half staff so needed a way to show proper respect. They arrived in a timely manner and unhappily went straight onto the flag poles. They look very nice and behave well in the breeze.

Satisfied with purchase
"Since I am flying the flag from a fixed pole I wanted a Black Mourning Bow for the days of half-staff. This bow fits the bill. The sales price was good and the package arrived in a timely manner. Had some creases due to packaging but should come out with no problem. Very satisfied with the product and merchant service."
