(SALEM, Ore. ) - Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski has ordered all flags at public institutions in Oregon be flown at half-staff on Friday in honor of Army Cpl. Graham McMahon.

The 22-year-old from Independence died Sept. 19th from respiratory failure in Balad, Iraq.

Kulongoski said McMahon's service to his country and to Oregon was exemplary. He added that in this moment of grief, Oregonians "should stand together with his community to support one another."

Kulongoski can go to Hell. He could have refused to send Oregon National Guard troops to Bush's war for oil and Israel, but he was gung-ho all the way..goose-stepping in line with Bush and the petro-Nazis. Kulongoski should be sued for the deaths of every National Guard soldier from Oregon..it is his baby.
