Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has ordered flags in Alabama to half staff on Sunday, December 22 the day of internment for Ensign Joseph Kaleb Watson, who was killed in the shooting onboard NAS Pensacola December 6.

Watson’s remains arrive Friday in his hometown of Enterprise, Alabama, in advance of funeral services on Sunday, December 22.
