Proclamation 9301 of July 21, 2015
Honoring the Victims of the Tragedy in
Chattanooga, Tennessee
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Our thoughts and prayers as a Nation are with the
service members killed last week in Chattanooga. We
honor their service. We offer our gratitude to the
police officers and first responders who stopped the
rampage and saved lives. We draw strength from yet
another American community that has come together with
an unmistakable message to those who would try and do
us harm: We do not give in to fear. You cannot divide
us. And you will not change our way of life.
We ask God to watch over the fallen, the families, and
their communities. As a mark of respect for the victims
of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on July
16, 2015, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, 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 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, July 25,
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
twenty-first day of July, in the year of our Lord two
thousand fifteen, and of the Independence of the United
States of America the two hundred and fortieth.
(Presidential Sig.)
