Governor: Lower flags for Oregon soldier killed in Iraq

Associated Press

Governor Ted Kulongoski has ordered flags at public institutions to be flown at half-staff in memory of Army Corporal Jessica Ann Ellis of Baker City.

Kulongoski says the flags should be flown at half-staff on Thursday.

The 24-year-old medic was killed in action on May 11 when her vehicle was struck by an improvised explosive device in Baghdad.

She was assigned to the 2nd Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 101st Airborne Division in Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

Kulongoski says Ellis was a decorated soldier who served her state and her country with courage and conviction.
