Proclamation 10351 of March 23, 2022
Death of Madeleine Korbel Albright
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Madeleine Albright was a force. She defied convention
and broke barriers again and again. She was an
immigrant fleeing persecution. A refugee in need of
safe haven. And like so many before her--and after--she
was proudly American.
As the devoted mother of three beloved daughters, she
worked tirelessly raising them while earning her
doctorate degree and starting her career in American
diplomacy. She took her talents first to the Senate as
a staffer for Senator Edmund Muskie followed by the
National Security Council under President Carter. And
then to the United Nations where she served as United
States Ambassador, and ultimately, made history as our
first woman Secretary of State, appointed by President
Clinton. A scholar, teacher, bestselling author, and
later accomplished business woman, she always believed
America was the indispensable Nation, and inspired the
next generation of public servants to follow her lead,
including countless women leaders around the world.
Madeleine was always a force for goodness, grace, and
decency--and for freedom.
As a mark of respect for former Secretary of State
Madeleine Korbel Albright and her life of service to
our Nation, 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 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 March 27, 2022. 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-third day of March, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-two, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
sixth.
