As a mark of respect for the victims of the attack
perpetrated on July 14, 2016, in Nice, France, 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

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 19, 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
fifteenth 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.
