That's because Labor Day is not, and never has been, a day on which it's traditional to
display the flag.[*] The days on which it *is* traditional are Memorial Day, Flag Day,
Independence Day, and Veterans Day.

Never heard that before. Is that a local custom? Here's what the US CFR says...

http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/chapter-1

6. (d) The flag should be displayed on all days, especially on New Year's Day, January 1; Inauguration Day, January 20; Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, third Monday in January; Lincoln's Birthday, February 12; Washington's Birthday, third Monday in February; Easter Sunday (variable); Mother's Day, second Sunday in May; Armed Forces Day, third Saturday in May; Memorial Day (half-staff until noon), the last Monday in May; Flag Day, June 14; Father's Day, third Sunday in June; Independence Day, July 4; National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day, July 27; Labor Day, first Monday in September; Constitution Day, September 17; Columbus Day, second Monday in October; Navy Day, October 27; Veterans Day, November 11; Thanksgiving Day, fourth Thursday in November; Christmas Day, December 25; and such other days as may be proclaimed by the President of the United States; the birthdays of States (date of admission); and on State holidays.


Dig a little deeper. When and how flags are displayed during town
parades and the direction the Flag is pointed, direction of the
colors, etc.. How they are displayed and the direction of parts of the
flag.


Dig for it yourself if you want to know about it.


Figure out why my replies are before your posted time. Come back with
a solution. Fix that. We can talk about flags and what you did not
figure out or answer my point.
