A symbol for rememberance and mourning, a black ribbon attached to the top of a flag pole that cannot be lowered to half staff is an accepted practice to show respect and remembrance. Our black mourning ribbon measures 3"x10', the perfect size for our 3'x5' or 4'x6' American flags. Crafted by Americans from 200-denier nylon, the same grade as our U.S. flags and finished with a brass grommet for easy attachment. Made in America, by Americans.
