Pursuant to President Barack Obama’s Presidential Proclamation to lower the United States flag honoring the victims of the tragedy in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, I do hereby order that the flags of the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Virginia are to be flown at half-staff on all local, state, and federal buildings and grounds in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
I hereby order that the flags shall be lowered immediately and remain at half-staff until sunset on Friday, August 10, 2012, provided that the flags are properly illuminated during the hours of darkness. Where no appropriate night illumination exists, the flags shall remain at half-staff only from sunrise to sunset each day through Friday, August 10, 2012.
