Flags will fly at half-staff today as family, friends and community members gather in Powell for funeral services honoring Marine 2nd Lt. Therrell Shane Childers.

Childers, whose parents moved to Powell in 1990, was shot and killed March 21 in southern Iraq. He was the first U.S. soldier killed in combat in the war there.

"Lt. Childers sacrificed his life for his country and the state should honor that, especially in light of his family's terrible loss," Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal said Monday.

The governor, who plans to attend the funeral, asked that all state buildings fly flags at half-staff today in honor of Childers.
