Proclamation 9369 of November 15, 2015

Honoring the Victims of the Attack in Paris, France

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

The American people stand with the people of France. Friday's terror
attacks were not just an attack on Paris; they were an attack on all
humanity and the universal values we share, including the bonds of
liberte, egalite, and fraternite. These values will endure far beyond
any terrorists or their hateful vision. The United States and our allies
do not give in to fear, nor will we be divided, nor will anyone change
our way of life. We will do whatever it takes, working with nations and
peoples around the world, to bring the perpetrators of these attacks to
justice, and to go after terrorists who threaten our people.
As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence
perpetrated on November 13, 2015, in Paris, France, 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, November 19, 2015. 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 fifteenth day of
November, in the year of our Lord two thousand fifteen, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and
fortieth.
