                Proclamation 8849 of August 27, 2012

                
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.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
