Lowering of the Washington State and United States Flags
I hereby direct that Washington State and United States
flags at all state agency facilities be lowered to half-staff
on Thursday, November 12, 2009, in memory of U.S. Army
Specialist Aaron S. Aamot, 22, of Custer, who died November 5
in Afghanistan, of injuries sustained when an improvised
explosive device detonated near his military vehicle. Please notify your staff and all of your field offices
and facilities around the state.
Flags should remain at half-staff until close of business
on Thursday, or first thing Friday morning.
Other government entities, citizens and businesses are
encouraged to join this recognition.
Please call (360) 902-0383 if you have any questions
about this flag lowering.
Christine O. Gregoire
Governor
