WASHINGTON – In a somber decree reflecting national grief over the loss of United States Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, President Donald J. Trump issued an executive order authorizing the lowering of flags across federal buildings and military installations to half-stature effective immediately.
The proclamation states:
> “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… I hereby direct that all U.S. flags be flown at half-staff from their normal position.”
Beckstrom was tragically killed while performing official duties within Washington D.C., according to an unverified report pending full investigation.
