A PROCLAMATION
As a mark of respect for the victims of
the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on July 20, 2012, in Aurora,
Colorado, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by
the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order
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, July 25, 2012. 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 twentieth day of July, in the year of our Lord two thousand
twelve, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred
and thirty-seventh.
BARACK OBAMA
