*Governor Kehoe Orders Flags to Fly at Half-Staff in Honor of Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Cully*

*JEFFERSON CITY, MO *– Today, in honor of United States Army Chief Warrant Officer Three Andrew "Drew" Gunnison Cully, Governor Mike Kehoe ordered U.S. and Missouri flags be flown at half-staff at government buildings in the State of Missouri for one full day on Saturday, October 11, 2025, from sunrise to sunset.

“Missourians join Americans from across our nation in mourning four United States Army soldiers who lost their lives in a tragic training accident, including Ozark, Missouri, native Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Cully,” said *Governor Kehoe*. “We will lower the flags across our state on Saturday as a solemn reminder that Andrew's service and sacrifice to our nation will never be forgotten. Claudia and I join the family, friends, loved ones, and military brothers and sisters of Chief Warrant Officer Cully in remembering a dedicated and humble American hero.”

On September 17, Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Cully tragically died in the line of duty alongside three other courageous Night Stalkers from the 4th Battalion, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne), while conducting an aviation training exercise near Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington.

Flags will be flown at half-staff on the day Chief Warrant Officer Cully is laid to rest. To view the Governor’s proclamation, click here [ [link removed] ].
