Flags covered by the Illinois Flag Display Act are at half-staff in honor and remembrance of United States Army Staff Sergeant Jose Duenez, Jr.
Staff Sgt. Duenez, age 25, was from Joliet, Illinois. He was killed along with three other soldiers from the Georgia-based 3rd Infantry Division due to an accident during training exercises in Lithuania.
Flags will be flown at half-staff through sunset on Thursday, April 17.
