Proclamation 9727 of April 17, 2018

Death of Barbara Bush

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

On this solemn day, we mourn the loss of Barbara Bush, an outstanding
and memorable woman of character. As a wife, mother, grandmother, great-
grandmother, military spouse, and former First Lady, Mrs. Bush was an
advocate of the American family. Mrs. Bush lived a life that reminds us
always to cherish our relationships with friends, family, and all
acquaintances. In the spirit of the memory of Mrs. Bush, may we always
remember to be kind to one another and to put the care of others first.
As a mark of respect for the memory of Barbara Bush, I hereby order, by
the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States of America, 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, on the day of interment. 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 seventeenth day of
April, 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
