In Connecticut, U.S. and state flags have been lowered to half-staff in honor of Connecticut State Police Trooper First Class Kevin M. Miller, who was killed Thursday afternoon in a motor vehicle accident while on duty. Trooper First Class Miller served with the Connecticut State Police for 19 years and was assigned to Troop C in Tolland.
"We are deeply saddened and heartbroken by the tragic loss of Trooper First Class Miller - a man who dedicated his life to serving the people of Connecticut," Governor Malloy said. "State troopers and members of law enforcement put their lives on the line each and every day in order to selflessly protect the people of our state, and they deserve our utmost respect for the service they provide. As they protect us from harm, these brave men and women personify what it means to be a public servant. On behalf of the entire State of Connecticut, I send my deepest condolences to his family, friends, and State Police colleagues. I ask the people of Connecticut to keep Trooper First Class Miller and his family in their prayers."
"Trooper First Class Kevin Miller was a veteran of the State Police - his death is a shock and a tragedy," Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman said. "Our hearts are with his family and friends, and his brothers and sisters at the Connecticut State Police as they mourn his loss. We are fortunate and proud; he served the people of Connecticut with honor and commitment. We are forever grateful for his service."
Flags will remain at half-staff until burial or memorial services are held, the details of which are forthcoming.
Kansas Governor Jeff Colyer ordered flags to be flown at half-staff until sun-down Friday, March 30, 2018 to honor the life of civil rights icon, Linda Brown, who as a young girl was the center of the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education, in which the Supreme Court declared the segregationist doctrine of "separate but equal" to be unconstitutional. "Linda Brown's life reminds us that by standing up for our principles and serving our communities we can truly change the world. Linda's legacy is a crucial part of the American story and continues to inspire the millions who have realized the American dream because of her."
[*Note: In Missouri, all flags at all State and government offices will be flown at half-staff, in the County of St. Louis from sunrise on March 22 until sunset on March 30, 2018, to commemorate the life of Cloria Brown, a Missouri state legislature Representative, who died while in office.]
[**Note 2: Also, by order of the Missouri Governor, all flags at all State and government offices will be flown at half-staff, in the counties of Cass, Clay, Jackson, Platte, Audrain, Boone and Cole until sunset on March 30, 2018 to honor FBI Special Agent Melissa Morrow.]
