    A Proclamation

    Our Nation shares the sorrow of those affected by the shooting at the
    Capital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis, Maryland. Americans across the
    country are united in calling upon God to be with the victims and to
    bring aid and comfort to their families and friends. As a mark of solemn
    respect for the victims of the terrible act of violence perpetrated on
    June 28, 2018, 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, July 3,
    2018. 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 third day of July,
    in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence
    of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-second.
    DONALD J. TRUMP
