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.
“Let us remember the life and service of Ensign Watson, who died as a hero trying to protect his fellow service members. We offer our heartfelt condolences and prayers to his family, friends and community,” Ivey said.
