The flags will be lowered Friday in tribute to Derek Kerns, a 21-year-old Woodstown native killed last week in a training mission in Morocco.
Kerns joined the Marines in September 2008, shortly after he graduated from Woodstown High School.
He was a MV-22 crew chief with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 261, Marine Aircraft Group 26MV-22, and was based at New River Air Station in North Carolina.
Kerns was recently married and the father of a 3-month-old son.
