A Proclamation

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.
