<< Back to archives | Monday, July 21, 2008

Early this morning, our flag was lowered to half staff.

Governor Chris Gregoire has directed that flags at all Washington State agency facilities be lowered to half-staff Monday, July 21, in memory of U. S. Army Corporal Jason M. Bogar of Seattle who was killed in action in Wanat, Afghanistan July 13. Cpl. Bogar began his military career as a member of the Washington National Guard.  The flag committee of the Old Fairhaven Association is chaired by Stephanie Johnson.  We follow all the normal flag guidelines with our new flag and lower if when the Governor directs state agencies to.
