Flags throughout the district are flying at half-staff on Sunday, March 16 in memory of Army Pfc. James Groth, of Ethal, who died on February 21 during a training accident at Fort Braff, North Carolina.

Flags may be lowered at the close of business on Friday, March 14 and remain at half-staff until the end of the day on March 16 or first thing Monday morning, March 17, 2014.  The Governor has requested that flags at all state agency facilities be lowered when a Washingtonian in the military is killed in the line of duty.
