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 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 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
fifth day of April, in the year of our Lord two
thousand seventeen, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
first.
