                 Proclamation 9914 of August 4, 2019
                
                Honoring the Victims of the Tragedies in El Paso,
                 Texas, and Dayton, Ohio
                 By the President of the United States of America
                 A Proclamation
                 Our Nation mourns with those whose loved ones were
                 murdered in the tragic shootings in El Paso, Texas, and
                 Dayton, Ohio, and we share in the pain and suffering of
                 all those who were injured in these two senseless
                 attacks. We condemn these hateful and cowardly acts.
                 Through our grief, America stands united with the
                 people of El Paso and Dayton. May God be with the
                 victims of these two horrific crimes and bring aid and
                 comfort to their families and friends. As a mark of
                 solemn respect for the victims of the terrible acts of
                 violence perpetrated on August 3, 2019, in El Paso,
                 Texas, and on August 4, 2019, in Dayton, Ohio, 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

                 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, August 8,
                 2019. 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
                 fourth day of August, in the year of our Lord two
                 thousand nineteen, and of the Independence of the
                 United States of America two hundred forty-fourth.
