Rio Salado College will be closed on Monday, May 26 in observance of Memorial Day.
There
is a traditional way of displaying the US flag on this special day. The
flag is raised quickly to the top of the staff and then lowered slowly
to the half-mast position, where it remains until noon. It is then
raised to full-staff for the remainder of the day. The half-staff
position remembers the more than one million men and women who gave
their lives in service to our country. At noon their memory is raised by
the living.
