LANSING, Mich. - Gov. Jennifer Granholm has ordered that U.S. flags around the state be lowered this week for two Marines from Michigan who were killed when their unit came under attack in Iraq.
Flags are to be lowered Wednesday in memory of Lance Cpl. Clifford R. Collinsworth, 20, of Chelsea, and Thursday for Lance Cpl. Nicholas J. Manoukian, 22, of Lathrup Village, the governor's office said in a news release.
The Marines were part of a unit from Camp Lejeune, N.C., that was engaged in fighting on Oct. 21 near Ramadi in Iraq's Anbar province.
