Michael, 30, of Dallas, Luzerne County, died Monday as a result of injuries he sustained from a helicopter crash while on assignment in Afghanistan. He was a native of Muncy, Lycoming County and a 1997 graduate of Hughesville High School.
On behalf of all Pennsylvanians, we extend our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Special Agent Michael,” Rendell said. “In his honor, we will lower United States and state flags to demonstrate our respect for his service to our nation, his loyalty and bravery, and his sacrifice.”
Ten soldiers and DEA agents were killed in the helicopter crash, including a Special Forces soldier with ties to Cumberland County. Staff Sgt. Keith R. Bishop, 28, was assigned to 3rd Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne), Fort Bragg, North Carolina. His parents live in Carlisle.

With all due respect to the Drug Enforcement Agent, why are we lowering the flag in his honor when we have not done so for all the soldiers who have given their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq to date?
