Flags are flying at half staff today in
Nashville, Arkansas, for a local soldier who died fighting in Iraq.
Staff Sergeant Hesley Box Junior was killed last week in Baghdad
when a car bomb exploded near his guard post.
Nashville Mayor Mike Reese asked that the flags be flown at half
staff in honor of Box through next Monday. No official word yet on
funeral services for the 24-year-old Arkansas National Guard
soldier.
Box is survived by his wife, Alexia Johnson Box, and two
children, five-year-old TarDarius and 20-month-old Zacheas. Box`s
