Now, what about Afghanistan?
U.S. and Illinois flags will be lowered to half-staff on Thursday through Saturday to honor the service and memory of U.S.Army Spc. Christopher A. Patterson, 20, of Aurora. Spc. Patterson died January 6th in Kandahar province, Afghanistan, when the vehicle he was in was blown up by in IED. Three others were also killed.
Spc. Patterson was serving with the 81st Troop Command, Indiana National Guard.
When you see the lowered flags this week, pause and think of Spc. Patterson. Think also of the others who died in Afghanistan and Iraq. And those who have been wounded.
