Governor
Andrew Cuomo has directed that flags on state government buildings be flown at
half-staff on December 24, 2015 in honor of a New York
Air National Guard member who died in Afghanistan on Monday, Dec. 21.
Staff
Sgt. Louis Michael Bonacasa died of wounds suffered when his patrol was
attacked by a suicide bomber. Also among those killed in the attack was
Technical Sgt. Joseph Lemm. Both were members of the 105th Base Defense
Squadron, which is an element of the 105th Airlift Wing at Stewart Air National
Guard Base at Newburgh, N.Y.
“On behalf of all New Yorkers, I extend my deepest sympathies to the family, friends and fellow servicemen of Staff Sgt. Bonacasa,” Governor Cuomo said. “We will join his loved ones in honoring his valor, leadership and service to this great nation. His sacrifice will be remembered with gratitude.”
