According to the American Legion, attaching a black ribbon or streamer on top of the flag is acceptable alternative for symbolizing mourning on flagpoles that cannot fly flag at half-staff. The flag rules make no provision for this. You can affix a streamer of black crepe to the staff immediately below the spearhead of the U.S. flag. It should be no wider than 1 foot, but may be less wide to match the proportionate of the flag. It should be about 1-1/2 times the hoist of the fly (the shorter dimension; the height of the flag).

Attach a black streamer with a bow-knot to the spearhead (top) of the pole, allowing the streamer to fall naturally. Alternately, you can affix black bow-knots, with or without streamers, placed at the fastening points.
