NY Flags Will Be Lowered Wednesday in Honor of Brooklyn Soldier
Flags on New York state government buildings will be flown at half-staff Wednesday in memory of a soldier from Brooklyn who died in Iraq.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday that the lowered flags will honor the bravery and service of 30-year-old Army Sgt. Roshain Brooks.

Cuomo extended condolences to Brooks’s family, friends and fellow soldiers.
