                Proclamation 10394 of May 12, 2022

                
Remembering the 1,000,000 Americans Lost to 
                COVID-19

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Today, we mark a tragic milestone: one million American 
                lives lost to COVID-19. One million empty chairs around 
                the dinner table. Each an irreplaceable loss. Each 
                leaving behind a family, a community, and a Nation 
                forever changed because of this pandemic. Jill and I 
                pray for each of them.

                As a Nation, we must not grow numb to such sorrow. To 
                heal, we must remember. We must remain vigilant against 
                this pandemic and do everything we can to save as many 
                lives as possible. In remembrance, let us draw strength 
                from each other as fellow Americans. For while we have 
                been humbled, we never give up. We can and will do this 
                together as the United States of America.

                In memory of the one million American lives lost to 
                COVID-19 and their loved ones left behind, I hereby 
                order, by the authority vested in me by the 
                Constitution and laws of the United States, that the 
                flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff 
                at the White House and on 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 May 
                16, 2022. 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 
                twelfth day of May, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand twenty-two, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                sixth.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
