                Proclamation 7461 of September 11, 2001

                
Honoring the Victims of the Incidents on Tuesday, 
                September 11, 2001

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                As a mark of respect for those killed by the heinous 
                acts of violence perpetrated by faceless cowards upon 
                the people and the freedom of the United States on 
                Tuesday, September 11, 2001, I hereby order, by the 
                authority vested in me as President of the United 
                States of America 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, Sunday, 
                September 16, 2001. 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 
                eleventh day of September, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand one, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and twenty-sixth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
