March 25, 2009
CONCORD, N.H. --Gov. John Lynch has ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff on Monday in honor of a Marine from Manchester who died in Afghanistan.
Twenty-eight-year-old Marine Cpl. Michael Ouellette was killed Sunday while supporting combat operations in the Helmand province in southern Afghanistan. His mother said he was killed by an improvised explosive device.
Lynch says his thoughts and prayers are with Ouellette's family. He called Ouellete a hero who sacrificed to protect us all.
Ouellette, a 1999 graduate of Memorial High School in Manchester, joined the Marines in 2005. He was deployed to Afghanistan in November after two deployments to Iraq.
