On April 21, 2025, the President of the United States issued a proclamation to honor the memory of His Holiness Pope Francis. The proclamation directs that the United States flag be flown at half-staff at various locations, including the White House, all public buildings and grounds, military posts, and naval stations throughout the country and its territories. Additionally, U.S. embassies, consulates, and military facilities abroad are also instructed to follow this directive until sunset on the day of Pope Francis’s interment.
