Lima flags to be lowered in memory of deceased soldier

LIMA — Ohio Gov. John Kasich has approved lowering flags in Lima to half-staff on Saturday in memory of Army Reservist Dallon Ross States, 26, a native of Lima who died June 11.

The approval came after a request from Lima Mayor David Berger, who extended his condolences to States’ family in a statement.

“It is only fitting and proper to honor this military serviceman by lowering the flags on all city buildings and grounds to half-staff and by publicly calling the community’s attention to recognize the committed service and sacrifices made by Reservist Ross,” he said.

States had served in the U.S. Army Reserves 304th Engineering Company.
