Proclamation 10677 of November 21, 2023

Death of Rosalynn Carter

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

Throughout her life as First Lady of Georgia and First
Lady of the United States, Rosalynn Carter exemplified
hope, warmth, and a steadfast commitment to doing all
she could to address many of our society's greatest
needs. She was a champion for equal rights and
opportunities for women and girls; an advocate for
mental health and wellness for all; and a supporter of
the often unseen and uncompensated caregivers of our
children, aging loved ones, and people with
disabilities. Above all, the deep love shared between
Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter is the definition of
partnership, and their humble leadership is the
definition of patriotism.

As a mark of respect for the memory of Rosalynn Carter,
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 from November 25,
2023, until sunset, on the day of interment. 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-first day of November, in the year of our Lord
two thousand twenty-three, and of the Independence of
the United States of America the two hundred and forty-
eighth.
