Half-Staff Flags: 8/27 until Day of Interment

sidsmom — Mon, 27 Aug 2018 21:29:31 GMT

As a mark of respect for the memory & longstanding service

of Senator John 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.

President of the United States

It is completely disgusting that posts have had to be deleted for political reasons both when the news came out that John McCain was ending his treatment, and again, once he passed. First and foremost, John McCain was a man with a wife and children. He was striken with a non-operable form of cancer. The progression of this disease is particularly cruel. All that should be of any concern at this moment is the McCain family.

Senator McCain’s remains will be flown to Washington D.C. where he will lie in state in the Capital Rotunda.He will then be laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery.

There has been no bigger patriot than John McCain, period. He has spent 60 out of his 81 years in distinguished service to our country.He deserves the official lowering of all American flags to half staff in his honor.

i believe that he is going to be buried at the us naval academy and not in arlington. he wanted to be buried next to his good friend chuck larson. they went to school together at the naval academy. senator mccain had written this in his book.....the restless wave.

At this time, the only thing that matters is Senator John McCain deserves respect as his status as a war hero and that he suffered a cruel fate with his cancer. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

I am grateful that the mods are deleting any inappropriate callous political remarks.

He served our country with honor, in times of peace, and in war. I respect him for this. I don't understand being nasty, about another person , at a time like this

(An empty jug makes the most noise, I guess)

God rest his soul, may perpetual light shine upon him

and may the angels conduct him to a place of refreshment, light, and peace..thank you for your service Senator

It's so sad to wake up to that news.

I never watch it, but CNN is doing wonderful coverage of his life. A lot of film of him and his friends speaking.

I really don't care to watch news reporters reading what he's said, or what others have said. It just means more to see the film letting these people speak.

@ms traditionalYour absolutely right, he went to the Academy.I'm not sure about the Senator, but my sister and brother in law are buried there, he also was a graduate of the Academy. I've never been there, but the two of them were cremated and are in colums on the grounds, so my sister who took pictures there said. I was under the impression, that everyone is buried like this. I have never been able to go there due to health problems, so I'm not sure if there are actual graves, Guess we will find out. Sorry about the Senator, he was a good man.I see his Mother is 106 years old. Bless her heart.

@Anonymous

I’ve been posting Half-Staff notifications for years for informational purposes only.

Once the Presidential Proclamation was issued, I would inform

our QVC community they are lowered until a designated day.

At this time, since we are not seeing a Presidential Proclamation,

would you be so kind to delete this original post since it’s

not correct information?

If/when a Proclamation is written, I will post notification again

stating official day/time.
