Last Friday, August 12, 2016 Governor Ducey ordered flags at all state buildings be lowered to half-staff in honor of Border Patrol Agent Manuel Alvarez.  Agent Alvarez was on duty at the Casa Grande station when he was killed in a traffic accident. Governor Ducey has ordered that flags be lowered again from sunrise until sunset on Friday, August 19, 2016 for his interment.

Individuals, businesses, and other organizations are encouraged to join in this tribute.
