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 Tuesday, December 14, 2010, in memory of U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Jason D. Peto, 31, of Vancouver, who died December 7 from wounds received last month while conducting combat operations in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

     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 Tuesday, or first thing Wednesday morning, December 15.

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