May 15 — Peace Officers Memorial Day: half-staff from sunrise to sunset.
Last Monday in May — Memorial Day: the flag should be displayed at half-staff until noon.
September 11 — Patriot Day: half-staff from sunrise to sunset
December 7 — National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day: half-staff from sunrise to sunset.
Upon reliable information that a past or present President, Vice-President, Chief Justice, or Speaker of the House has died.
Upon proclamation from the President or your state's governor.

I've seen the flag at Patriot Point lowered when well-known locals die. While they certainly deserve our respect, lowering the flag to half staff when it is not warranted is disrespectful to the flag.
