LANSING, Mich. -- Gov. Jennifer Granholm has ordered that U.S. flags across the state be lowered to half-staff on Monday in honor of a Marine from Macomb County who died in Iraq.
Staff Sgt. Jason A. Lehto, 31, died Dec. 28 in what the Defense Department described as a non-hostile incident. He had been assigned to the Marine Forces Reserve's Marine Wing Support Group 47, 4th Marine Aircraft Wing, based in Macomb County's Harrison Township.
Granholm said it's important to recognize and honor those who give their lives to protect and defend the United States.
Lehto enlisted in the Marines after graduating from Clintondale High School in Clinton Township in 1992. He served in active duty until 1996, then joined the reserves.
