Nevada governor orders flags to half-staff in honor of Sgt. Ben Jenkins on day of his Elko memorial
"The First Lady and I are just as heartbroken today as when we first got word of the loss of Sergeant Jenkins. So, on this day, let us again pay tribute to the memory of a great man who dedicated his life to service,” said Gov. Sisolak. “A husband, father, grandfather, and veteran who passed doing what he had always done, protecting others. Although the grief felt throughout the State and especially in the Elko community has been immense, we know that his memory will live on in those that he meant so much to.”
The Governor previously ordered the flags to be flown at half-staff from March 27 through March 30. With this order, on the day of his memorial, the State wanted to again recognize Sergeant Jenkins for his commendable service.
