This is only a guess....But here goes.....
It's a brand new flag, that's obvious, possibly they installed for Memorial Day...
According to When and How to Fly the U.S.Flag... put out by the
www.VFW.Org , Flag etiquette is to fly Old Glory at 1/2 staff until noon on 5-30 Memorial Day , then raised to the Top of the staff until sunset....
Maybe the installer...Has a misinterpreted idea....and will they return to raise to the top of the staff at noon...?
