A Proclamation
As a mark of respect for those killed by the heinous acts of violence
perpetrated by faceless cowards upon the people and the freedom of the
United States on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, I hereby order, by the
authority vested in me as President of the United States of America by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, that the flag of
the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon
all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations,
and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of
Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and
possessions until sunset, Sunday, September 16, 2001. I also direct that
the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all
United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities
abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of
September, in the year of our Lord two thousand one, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and
twenty-sixth.
GEORGE W. BUSH
