The Governor has ordered that the flags be lowered to half-staff as we and our entire nation mourn the loss of 16 individuals who were killed when a military refueling aircraft crashed Monday, July 10th, in Jackson, Mississippi. The KC-130 air tanker was carrying members of a marine unit cross country for training when it went down. 15 Marines and a Navy Sailor were killed. Please join us in remembering all those who lost their lives, and praying for their friends and families during this tragedy.
