November 16, 2015 |
President Barack Obama on Sunday issued a
proclamation that the flag of the United States
be flown at half staff throughout the nation
this Thursday, November 19, through the day
until sunset "as a mark of respect for the
victims of the senseless acts of violence
perpetrated on November 13, 2015, in Paris,
France."
"The American people stand with the people of
France," said the President in the proclamation.
"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 liberté, égalité, and fraternité."
The official Presidential Proclamation
requesting that flags be flown at half staff may
