A Proclamation

As a mark of respect for the memory of John Glenn, I
hereby order, by the authority vested in me 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, on the day of interment. I also direct
that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same
period 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
ninth day of December, in the year of our Lord two
thousand sixteen, and of the Independence of the United
States of America the two hundred and forty-first.
