Flags are ordered to be flown at half-staff on Thursday in Pulaski and Lake Counties in memory of U.S. Marine SSgt. Tyler James Fox who recently passed away while on active duty.

The order is directed by Governor Eric J. Holcomb who notes that flags will be at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on the day of his funeral which is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 28.

Holcomb asks that residents, businesses owners and government agencies do this in honor of SSgt. Fox’s courageous service and dedication to duty.
