MADISON, Wis. -- Flags at Wisconsin National Guard armories, air bases and other facilities throughout the state will fly at half-staff on Tuesday in honor of a Peshtigo soldier killed in Afghanistan.

The state Department of Military Affairs announced the order honoring 19-year-old U.S. Army Pvt. Steven Drees.

He was injured June 24 in an attack that involved small-arms fire and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. He died four days later.

Drees had only been in Afghanistan for about three weeks when he was shot during the ambush.

His funeral was held scheduled Tuesday at Peshtigo High School, where he graduated last year.
