Flags at half-staff following attacks in Belgium |
|
March 23, 2016 |
In a Presidential Proclamation, President Barack
Obama yesterday ordered U.S. flags to fly at
half-staff "as a mark of respect for the victims
of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on
March 22, 2016, in Brussels, Belgium."
"We will do whatever it takes," said President
Obama, "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."
Flags are to remain at half-staff until sunset
on Saturday, March 26.
