HALF STAFF UPDATE
HONORING THE MEMORY OF SPECIALIST SARAH BECKSTROM, WEST VIRGINIA ARMY NATIONAL GUARD
Unfortunately, we didn’t receive notice of this HALF-STAFF Alert until late yesterday afternoon when it was too late since the Flag would have been returned to Full Staff at Sunset. We agree with many of our customers that this is unacceptable especially due to the circumstances of this Ture American Hero.
We are choosing to Fly The Flag at Half-Staff Today in Honor of Sarah!
Here is the official Proclamation
A PROCLAMATION
As a mark of respect for the memory of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, West Virginia Army National Guard, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order 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, December 4, 2025. 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 fourth day of December, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.
– DONALD J. TRUMP
RIP Sarah
With That Information stated, We here at ATBFF also want to bring attention to National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, 2025.
On the 7th of December 84 years ago, 2,403 service members and civilians were killed in a painful and unprovoked attack on our Armed Forces. On National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we remember these women and men, who gave their last full measure of devotion to our Nation. We honor the brave service members who — with the horrors of Pearl Harbor weighing on their hearts and the hopes of humanity resting on their shoulders — answered the call to defend freedom against the forces of fascism during World War II.
A resolution approved by Congress in 1994 designates December 7 of each year as “National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day,” and directs that flags be lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sundown. This will take Action on Sunday, December 7th.
