BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
On this solemn day, we
mourn the loss of Barbara Bush, an
outstanding and memorable woman of character.
As a wife, mother, grandmother,
great-grandmother, military spouse, and
former First Lady, Mrs. Bush was an advocate
of the American family. Mrs. Bush lived a
life that reminds us always to cherish our
relationships with friends, family, and all
acquaintances. In the spirit of the memory of
Mrs. Bush, may we always remember to be kind
to one another and to put the care of others
first.
As a mark of respect for
the memory of Barbara Bush, 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 seventeenth
day of April, in the year of our Lord two
thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of
the United States of America the two hundred
and forty-second.
DONALD J. TRUMP
