HELENA, Mont. - Gov. Brian Schweitzer has ordered that all flags in Montana be lowered to half-staff in honor of a soldier killed in Iraq.

The U.S. Defense Department says Army Private First Class Michael A. Rogers, of White Sulpher Springs, died last Friday of non-combat related injuries.

Flags will fly at half-staff starting Thursday morning until sundown on Friday.
