                Proclamation 9914 of August 4, 2019

                
Honoring the Victims of the Tragedies in El Paso, 
                Texas, and Dayton, Ohio

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Our Nation mourns with those whose loved ones were 
                murdered in the tragic shootings in El Paso, Texas, and 
                Dayton, Ohio, and we share in the pain and suffering of 
                all those who were injured in these two senseless 
                attacks. We condemn these hateful and cowardly acts. 
                Through our grief, America stands united with the 
                people of El Paso and Dayton. May God be with the 
                victims of these two horrific crimes and bring aid and 
                comfort to their families and friends. As a mark of 
                solemn respect for the victims of the terrible acts of 
                violence perpetrated on August 3, 2019, in El Paso, 
                Texas, and on August 4, 2019, in Dayton, Ohio, 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, August 8, 
                2019. 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 
                fourth day of August, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand nineteen, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America two hundred forty-fourth.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
