CONCORD – Governor Maggie Hassan has directed flags to half-staff in
honor of James Foley on the day of his memorial service, Sunday, August 24,
2014.

“James Foley exemplified the best of our journalistic ideals, fearlessly
going to some of the world’s most dangerous places to expose the horrific
consequences of war and the beautiful humanity of those innocent civilians
affected by it. An unconscionable act of terror took him from us far too
soon, but his unyielding commitment to advancing our cherished First
Amendment right across the globe and the truths he unveiled will live on
forever. As Granite Staters and people around the world mourn, our thoughts
and prayers remain with the Foley family and their loved ones.”
