Presidential Proclamation -- Honoring the Victims of the Attack in Dallas, Texas -- Flags at Half-Staff

Greetings Neighbors,

President Obama has issued the following Proclamation (full text below) for flags at Half-Staff until Sunset on July 12. I have already placed Edgebrook's community flag (located on the triangle at Lehigh, Devon and Caldwell) at Half-Staff. Please do the same.

If you are unable to lower your flag, at home for example. Attaching a black ribbon to the top of a U.S. flag is an acceptable alternative for flags that cannot be lowered to half-staff. The attached picture is of my flag at my home with the black ribbon attached.

Questions? Please ask. Jac.Charlier@gmail.com

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA : A PROCLAMATION

As a mark of respect for the victims of the attack on police officers perpetrated on Thursday, July 7, 2016, in Dallas, Texas, 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, July 12, 2016. 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 eighth day of July, in the year of our Lord two thousand sixteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-first.
