5 Nebraska families receive flags honoring fallen servicemen

American_flagOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Five Nebraska families have received Gold Star flags honoring their loved ones who died while serving in the U.S. military.

The Nebraska chapter of the Honor and Remember organization presented Gold Star flags to the families of Army Spc. Dustin Workman, Navy Lt. Cmdr. Keith Hanson, Army 1st Lt. Mark Noziska, and Army 1st Lt. James Moore and his brother Navy Petty Officer Gene Moore.

About 120 people attended the flag presentations, which were held in a Papillion event venue. Family members were also honored at Werner Park before an Omaha Storm Chasers baseball game.

People who have had a family member die while in the military or from an illness contracted while in service can request to receive a Gold Star flag.
