Presidential Proclamation on the Death of Senator John Sidney
McCain III
Issued on: August 27, 2018
As a mark of respect for the memory and
longstanding service of Senator John Sidney McCain III, I hereby order, by
the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States of America, 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, on the day
of interment. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff
for the same period 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-seventh day of August, in the year of our Lord
two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-third.
DONALD J.
