Campus family,

Flags at USAO will be lowered to half staff on Friday in honor of astronaut
Neil Armstrong, by executive order of President Barack Obama. Thought you'd
like to know.

DEATH OF NEIL ARMSTRONG
 As a mark of respect for the memory of Neil Armstrong, I hereby order, by
the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United
States of America, that on the day of his interment, 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 such day. 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 twenty-seventh day of
August, in the year of our Lord two thousand twelve, and of the Independence
of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-seventh.
 BARACK OBAMA
