                Proclamation 9697 of February 15, 2018

                
Honoring the Victims of the Tragedy in Parkland, 
                Florida

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Our Nation grieves with those who have lost loved ones 
                in the shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High 
                School in Parkland, Florida. As a mark of solemn 
                respect for the victims of the terrible act of violence 
                perpetrated on February 14, 2018, 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, February 19, 
                2018. 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 
                fifteenth day of February, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                second.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
