                Proclamation 9408 of March 22, 2016

                
Honoring the Victims of the Attack in Brussels, 
                Belgium

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                The American people stand with the people of Brussels. 
                We will do whatever it takes, working with nations and 
                peoples around the world, to bring the perpetrators of 
                these attacks to justice, and to go after terrorists 
                who threaten our people.

                As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless 
                acts of violence perpetrated on March 22, 2016, in 
                Brussels, Belgium, 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, March 26, 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 
                twenty-second day of March, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand sixteen, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and fortieth.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
