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

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

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this

two thousand twenty-one, and of the Independence of the
