State Flags Lowered For Arizona Soldier

by Celesta Krantz

The flags lowered to half-staff Monday were honoring Army Private First Class Anthony Sausto, who died in Iraq earlier this month in the service of our country. Sausto came from Lake Havasu City and was based out of Ft. Lewis, Washington before being deployed in March. He served with his fellow members of the 1st Battalion, 38th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division. He died due to enemy small arms fire on the 10th. Sausto is survived by his mother, sister and fiancee.

Sir, your fellow Arizonans salute you.
