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 21, 2010, in memory of U.S. Army Cpl. Sean M. Collins, 25, of Yelm, who died December 12 from wounds received when insurgents attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device in Kandahar province, Afghanistan.
