DENVER (AP) -- Flags will be flying at half-staff on state and federal buildings in Colorado in honor of a soldier from Monte Visa who was killed in Iraq.
Twenty-three-year-old Faith Hinkley was killed Aug. 7 when insurgents attacked her unit. She was a specialist at the time of her death but was promoted posthumously to sergeant.
U.S. and Colorado flags will fly at half-staff Tuesday by order of Gov. Bill Ritter.
Ritter plans to attend Hinkley's funeral Tuesday at Monte Vista High School.
Hinkley was assigned to the 502nd Military Intelligence Battalion of the 201st Battlefield Surveillance Brigade at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash.
