As a mark of respect for the victims of gun violence

perpetrated on December 2, 2015, in San Bernardino, California,

and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the

District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its

Territories and possessions through December 7, 2015. 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
