COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — Flags in Iowa are flying at half-staff to honor a World War II sailor from Iowa killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor. Gov. Kim Reynolds ordered all flags on state property lowered Saturday to honor Navy Fireman 1st Class Bert E. McKeeman. The date coincides with a burial service set in Council Bluffs for McKeeman’s remains. McKeeman, of Council Bluffs, was aboard the USS Oklahoma when it was attacked Dec. 4, 1941, by a Japanese bomber. McKeeman was 25. McKeeman’s remains were identified in August and returned to his family. His burial will include full military honors.

The flags are also ordered to half-staff for the next 30-days, by order of the Governor, in remembrance and honor of President George H.W. Bush.
