    Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas, U.S. Army Command Sgt. Maj. Forest T. Glodgett, Jericho, Vt., resident and brigade command sergeant major, 86th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Mountain), and U.S. Army Spc. Travis A. Hale, also a Jericho, Vt., resident and a combat engineer with Headquarters, Headquarters Company, 86th IBCT (Mtn), raise the Vermont battle flag during a visit to Afghanistan July 24. “To the best of my knowledge, Gov. Douglas is the first sitting governor to raise the Vermont Battle Flag in an active war zone,” said Sgt. 1st Class Dwight D. Harrington, a Barre, Vt., resident and brigade historian for the 86th IBCT (Mtn). “In a war zone, it is an honor for a Soldier to raise a flag. It was a double honor to have the governor assist us today.” Douglas visited Bagram as part of a multiple country tour, including Kuwait and Iraq.
