The White House, October 8, 1920.

I hereby direct that on Sunday, November 14, 1920, the flag of the United States be displayed at half-mast at all military posts, naval stations, on vessels, and on buildings of the United States, as a token of the Nation's participation in the memorial services held for the heroic American soldiers, sailors, marines and others who gave their lives to their country in the World War.
