                Massachusetts

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless 
                acts of violence perpetrated on April 15, 2013, in 
                Boston, Massachusetts, 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, April 20, 2013. 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 
                sixteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand thirteen, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and thirty-
                seventh.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
