Flags are to be flown at half staff on
August 31, 2012.
The text of the Presidential
Proclamation follows:
As a mark of respect for the memory of
Neil Armstrong, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, that on the day of
his interment, 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 on such day. 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 twenty-seventh day of August, 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
