Honoring the Victims of the Novel Coronavirus 
                Pandemic

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Our Nation mourns for every life lost to the 
                coronavirus pandemic, and we share in the suffering of 
                all those who endured pain and illness from the 
                outbreak. Through our grief, America stands steadfast 
                and united against the invisible enemy. May God be with 
                the victims of this pandemic and bring aid and comfort 
                to their families and friends. As a mark of solemn 
                respect for the victims of the coronavirus pandemic, 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, May 24, 2020. 
                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 
                twenty-first day of May, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand twenty, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred forty-fourth.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
