The governor had previously ordered flags lowered tomorrow at the Capitol Complex and in Bucks County in honor of Army Sergeant First Class Kenneth Elwell. The 33-year-old was one of two soldiers killed July 17th by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. He will be buried tomorrow at Arlington National Cemetery.
