Freeholders Ask Bergen Residents To Display Flags Thursday For Fallen Marine

All Bergen County residents should fly their American flags on Thursday in memory of a North Arlington marine killed in action earlier this month.

The Board of Freeholders has asked residents to lower their flags as a sign of respect for Lance Corporal Osbrany Montes De Oca, a member of the II Marine Expeditionary Force who died in Afghanistan on February 10th.

Montes De Oca, who enlisted with his identical twin brother and an older brother in 2010, was killed in combat Helmand Province. He was a three-sport athlete at North Arlington High School.
