(SALEM) - Governor Kulongoski has ordered all flags at public institutions to be flown at half-staff on Friday, in memory of Army Sergeant Nathaniel B. Lindsey of Troutdale.
Lindsey, 38, died on September 9th supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Shajoy, Afghanistan.
He was assigned to the Oregon National Guard 41st Brigade Combat Team of Portland.
"Sergeant Lindsey bravely served his country with honor and courage. We send our sincere and heartfelt condolences to Sergeant Lindsey's friends and family," said Governor Kulongoski.
"The men and women of the Oregon National Guard are a key part of our nation's armed forces. When not serving, these dedicated soldiers are our educators, business owners, truck drivers, farmers, grocery clerks, and sales representatives; they represent all walks of life. We continue to keep them all in our thoughts and prayers."
