                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                As a mark of respect for the memory of Army Corporal 
                Frank W. Buckles, the last surviving American veteran 
                of World War I, and in remembrance of the generation of 
                American veterans of World War I, I hereby order, by 
                the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the 
                laws of the United States of America, that, on the day 
                of his interment, 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 such day. I further 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 
                twenty-eighth day of February, in the year of our Lord 
                two thousand eleven, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and thirty-
                fifth.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
