JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Governor Mike Kehoe is ordering all flags in Missouri to fly at half-staff, honoring the life of Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Cully, who was one of the four soldiers killed in a military helicopter crash in September.
“We will lower the flags across our state on Saturday as a solemn reminder that Andrew’s service and sacrifice to our nation will never be forgotten. Claudia and I join the family, friends, loved ones, and military brothers and sisters of Chief Warrant Officer Cully in remembering a dedicated and humble American hero,” Kehoe said.
The crash occurred on Sept. 17, during an aviation training exercise, according to the governor’s office. Those lost in the crash, alongside Cully, a native of Sparta, Missouri, were identified as:
- Andrew Kraus of Sanibel, Florida
- Donavon Scott of Tacoma, Washington
