Governor Mark Gordon has ordered both the United States and Wyoming State Flags be flown at half staff statewide on Saturday in honor of the service of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum. McCollum, a Teton County resident, was killed in the terrorist attack on August 26, 2021, in Kabul, Afghanistan. A public memorial service for McCollum will take place on Saturday at the Jackson Hole Hereford Ranch. McCollum was one of 13 American service members killed during the final days of the evacuation of the Kabul airport as the Taliban took control of the country.
