June 7 Flag Lowering

Governor Chris Gregoire has directed that Washington State and United States flags at all Washington State agency facilities be lowered to half-staff Tuesday, June 7, 2011, in memory of U. S. Army Captain Joseph W. Schultz, 36, of Port Angeles, who died May 29 of injuries sustained in Afghanistan when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle.

Flags should remain at half-staff until close of business Tuesday, or first thing Wednesday morning, June 8.

Other government entities, citizens and businesses are encouraged to join this recognition.
