(Des Moines, Iowa) — Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff across the State, in honor and remembrance of U-S service members and others who died in a deadly terrorist attack near Kabul, Afghanistan, Thursday. At least one dozen soldiers and 100 civilians died during the suicide bomber attack and subsequent firefight. The order from the Governor calls for flags to remain lowered through sunset on Monday.

Governor Reynolds said “there are no words that can describe the pain felt by their fellow soldiers, family, and loved ones… We cannot thank the brave men and women of our Armed Forces enough for what they do to preserve this incredible nation.”
