                A Proclamation

                As a mark of respect for the memory of John Christopher 
                Stevens, United States Ambassador to Libya, and 
                American personnel killed in the senseless attack on 
                our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, by the authority 
                vested in me as President of the United States by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, I hereby order 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, September 16, 
                2012. 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 
                twelfth day of September, 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.)
