Flags at half-staff through Monday

United States and Illinois flags are to be flown at half-staff from sunrise, Saturday, November 13, 2010 until sunset, Monday, November 15, 2010, to honor the late Corporal James Chad Young, United States Army, whose hometown was Rochester, Illinois.

Cpl. Young, 25, was fatally wounded last Wednesday, when his unit was attacked in Kandahar, Afghanistan. He had returned to duty after having been home on leave two weeks earlier.

Rochester is east of Springfield.
