Flags fly at half-staff for Memorial Day

From the Office of the Governor of Minnesota:

ST. PAUL -- Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty today ordered that all U.S. and Minnesota flags be flown at half-staff on state property from sunrise until noon on Monday, May 26, 2008, in honor and remembrance of the sacrifices of those brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

The following is the text of the governor’s official proclamation:


'She doesn't know he's dead'

Today, the St. Paul Pioneer Press did a touching piece on a memorial to Minnesota soldiers who died in Iraq.

Savannah Anderson, the 4-year-old child of Hannah and deceased Pfc. Joshua Anderson of Jordan, is pictured in an online slideshow touching her father's boots.

"She doesn't know he's dead," Hannah is quoted as saying. "All she knows is he's not here."
