I am requesting that the President Obama order the United States Flag to be flown at half-mast in honor and remembrance of the 6 US Soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan on 17 December 2013. This is the largest death toll from a single incident since 2011. We owe it to them and their families to not forget their sacrifice. We fly the Flag at half-mast for foreign dignitaries deaths, so it is only right to fly it for such a tragic loss of life for those who defend it.
