Flags Statewide To Be Lowered For Fallen Island Heights Marine
Governor Chris Christie orders flags on all New Jersey state buildings to unfurl at half-staff Thursday, in memory of the Marine corporal from Island Heights who lost his life in combat in Afghanistan last week.
Corporal Christopher M. Monahan was a 2005 graduate of Centrral Regional High School, Berkeley Township. He was deployed to Afghanistan during the ongoing Operation Enduring Freedom, and died during operations in Helmand Province.
