    Proclamation 10039 of May 21, 2020
    Honoring the Victims of the Novel Coronavirus Pandemic
    By the President of the United States of America
    A Proclamation
    Our Nation mourns for every life lost to the coronavirus pandemic, and
    we share in the suffering of all those who endured pain and illness from
    the outbreak. Through our grief, America stands steadfast and united
    against the invisible enemy. May God be with the victims of this
    pandemic and bring aid and comfort to their families and friends. As a
    mark of solemn respect for the victims of the coronavirus pandemic, 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, May 24, 2020. 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 twenty-first day of
    May, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty, and of the

    Independence of the United States of America the two hundred forty-
    fourth.
    DONALD J. TRUMP
