posted at M-Live dot-com (August 13, 2012, morning postings):

Gov. Rick Snyder has ordered U.S. flags lowered to half-staff in honor of a Marine from West Michigan who was killed in Afghanistan.

Snyder issued an order to be in effect Monday for 27-year-old Gunnery Sgt. Daniel Price of Zeeland, who was killed in combat in Badghis province on July 29.

Price was assigned to 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion at Camp Pendleton, Calif. The governor's office said Price joined the Marines in 2003 after graduating from high school. Price served three tours of duty in Iraq, where he was promoted to sergeant, and three tours in Afghanistan.
