                Proclamation 9651 of October 2, 2017

                
Honoring the Victims of the Tragedy in Las Vegas, 
                Nevada

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Our Nation is heartbroken. We mourn with all whose 
                loved ones were murdered and injured in last night's 
                horrible tragedy in Las Vegas, Nevada. As we grieve, we 
                pray that God may provide comfort and relief to all 
                those suffering.

                As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless 
                act of violence perpetrated on October 1, 2017, 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, October 6, 
                2017. 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 
                second day of October, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand seventeen, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                second.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
