(MSC News)--Flags across Kansas will fly at half-staff Friday in honor of a Kansas Marine who died this month in a helicopter crash.
Flags will remain at half-staff all day Friday, from sunrise until sunset, as directed by Kansas Governor Laura Kelly in honor of Lance Corporal Donovan Davis.
Kelly, in a release, said the sacrifices Davis and "the four other young marines made to protect our freedom" will not be forgotten.
Davis, and the four others, died February 7 when their helicopter crashed during a routine training exercise in southern California.
