Flags Lowered for Four Washington-Based Fallen Soldiers

Mayor Lisa Brown ordered flags at City facilities to be lowered to half-staff in memory of four soldiers who died in a helicopter crash on September 17, 2025. The fallen soldiers include Chief Warrant Officer Three Andrew Cully, Chief Warrant Officer Three Andrew Kraus, Sergeant Donavon Scott, and Sergeant Jadalyn Good, all of whom were actively serving in the U. S. Army. This action aligns with Governor Bob Ferguson's directive for state and U.

S. flags to be lowered at all state agency facilities. Mayor Brown encourages community members to lower flags at their homes and businesses as a sign of respect. Flags will remain at half-staff until the close of business or sunset, symbolizing the community's collective mourning and support for military families. The tragic loss of these soldiers highlights the sacrifices made by service members.

This recognition fosters a sense of unity and remembrance within Spokane. Such actions reinforce the importance of honoring those who serve and protect the nation.
