Honoring the Victims of the Tragedy at the 
                Washington Navy Yard

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless 
                acts of violence perpetrated on September 16, 2013, at 
                the Washington Navy Yard, 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 20, 2013. 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 
                sixteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand thirteen, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and thirty-
                eighth.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
