Flags at half-staff Monday for Capt. Seager
Flags at Wisconsin National Guard armories, air bases and other facilities across the state will fly at half-staff Monday in honor of Army Reserve Captain Russell Seager, Mount Pleasant, who died Nov. 5 of injuries received in the Fort Hood shootings.

Wheras, Captain Russell Seager provided faithful and honorable service to the people of the State of Wisconsin and the people of the United States; and
Wheras, the people of Wisconsin mourn the death of Captain Russell Seager; and
Wheras, Captain Russell Seager will be laid to rest on Monday, November 16, 2009;
Now therefore I, Jim Doyle, Governor of the State of Wisconsin, by the authority vested in me by Federal and State law, do hereby order that the flag of the United States and the flag of the State of Wisconsin shall be flown at half-staff at all buildings, grounds and military installations of the State of Wisconsin equipped with such flags beginning at sunrise on November 16, 2009, and ending at sunset on that date.
