The Official Presidential Proclamation:
DEATH OF NEIL ARMSTRONG
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
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.
BARACK OBAMA
