Governor directs flag lowering for Aamot
Posted by Susan Schell on November 10th, 2009
Governor Chris Gregoire has directed that flags at all Washington State agency facilities be lowered to half-staff Thursday, in memory of U.S. Army Specialist Aaron S. Aamot, 22, of Custer, Wash. Specialist Aamot died last week in Afghanistan of injuries sustained when an improvised explosive device detonated near his military vehicle.
Flags should remain at half-staff until close of business Thursday, or first thing Friday morning.
Other government entities, citizens and businesses are encouraged to join this recognition.
