Proclamation 10394 of May 12, 2022
Remembering the 1,000,000 Americans Lost to
COVID-19
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Today, we mark a tragic milestone: one million American
lives lost to COVID-19. One million empty chairs around
the dinner table. Each an irreplaceable loss. Each
leaving behind a family, a community, and a Nation
forever changed because of this pandemic. Jill and I
pray for each of them.
As a Nation, we must not grow numb to such sorrow. To
heal, we must remember. We must remain vigilant against
this pandemic and do everything we can to save as many
lives as possible. In remembrance, let us draw strength
from each other as fellow Americans. For while we have
been humbled, we never give up. We can and will do this
together as the United States of America.
In memory of the one million American lives lost to
COVID-19 and their loved ones left behind, I hereby
order, by the authority vested in me by the
Constitution and laws of the United States, that the
flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff
at the White House and on 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 May
16, 2022. 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
twelfth day of May, 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.
