Regardless of their nationality; it is sad, but I wanted to correct the information I'd posted.

My roommates fiance is a crew member on the CH-46E Sea Knights - the one that crashed last night. We were in contact with Red Cross last night, and were told finally by the commanding officer that it was NOT her fiance. It was 4 Marine's out of Camp Pendelton - he is out of Miranmar. But it was the most terrifying 3 hours until we heard. God Bless the families of those that lost their loved ones. I cannot imagine...

God Bless The Soldiers..
