Governor Chris Gregoire has directed that Washington State and United States flags at all Washington State agency facilities be lowered to half-staff Thursday, June 2, 2011, in memory of U.S. Army Specialist Adam J. Patton, 21, of Port Orchard, who died May 26 of injuries sustained in Afghanistan when an improvised explosive device detonated near him.
Flags should remain at half-staff until close of business Thursday, or first thing Friday morning, June 3.
Other government entities, citizens and businesses are encouraged to join this recognition.
