To respect the respect of his Holy Pope Francis, which was given to me by the Constitution and the Law of the United States as the President of the United States, I hereby order the flag of the United States to fly on the White House and all military post offices and all naval governments as well as all public buildings and grounds of federal ships and federal governments, and on all public buildings and grounds of the White House and all public buildings and grounds of the property until sunset, on the day of the funeral. I also direct that the flags shall fly on the half-stadium rack for the same time at all U.S. embassies, churches, consulates and other facilities abroad (including all military facilities, naval vessels and stations).
In the case of Witnesses, I am here twenty-nine days, in the twenty-two years of our Lord and the year of independence of the United States of America.
