                Proclamation 7694 of July 28, 2003

 
                Death of Bob Hope

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Today, America mourns the loss of one of its great 
                treasures. A gifted comedian who entertained audiences 
                for decades with his unique talents, Bob Hope brought 
                joy and laughter to our Nation. By tirelessly 
                entertaining America's troops, he demonstrated his 
                extraordinary love of country and devotion to the men 
                and women who have served in our military.

                As a mark of respect for the memory of Bob Hope, I 
                hereby order, by the authority vested in me as 
                President of the United States 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 
                period 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-eighth day of July, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand three, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and twenty-eighth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
