February 15, 2018 |
Our Nation grieves with those who have lost
loved ones in the shooting at the Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland,
Florida.
As a mark of solemn respect for the victims of
the terrible act of violence perpetrated on
February 14, 2018, 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,
February 19, 2018.
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 fifteenth day of February, in the year of
our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the
two hundred and forty-second.
DONALD J. TRUMP |
