Flags to be at half-staff June 7 in honor of U.S. Army captain
Governor Chris Gregoire has directed that Washington state and U.S. flags at all state agency facilities be lowered to half-staff Tuesday, June 7, 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.
