MONTPELIER, Vt. — Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin is ordering flags to half-staff in honor of a U.S. Navy SEAL who was among 30 troops killed in an Aug. 6 helicopter crash in Afghanistan.
Chief Petty Officer Brian Bill, of Virginia Beach, Va., was a graduate of Norwich University, in Northfield. He grew up in Stamford, Conn.
On Tuesday, Shumlin ordered the flag lowering — at the Statehouse and all federal and state facilities in Vermont — to begin at sunrise Friday and end at sunset Monday.
