Flags to be

As a
mark of respect for Robert Joseph Dole, a statesman like few in
our history and a war hero among the greatest of the Greatest
Generation, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me as
President of the United States 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 December 9,
2021. 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 fifth day of
December, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-one,
and of the Independence of the United States of America
the two hundred and forty-sixth.
JOSEPH
R. BIDEN JR.
