Last night (6:30 is est) a UH-60 Blackhawk belonging to the NY Army National Guard crashed in a field nearby. All 3 souls perished. I knew these people. It feels like I have been gut punched as one of them was a very close friend. Names of the victims have not been publically released pending the notification of the families. Heartfelt prayers and condolences to the crew and the families they have left behind.

RIP brothers
 
Very sorry to hear that, R.I.P. to those brave souls.
 
Sorry to hear, prayers sent out. R.I.P.

God's peace my friend.

God Bless

I have fueled hundreds of those over the years in GRB

Wisconsin National Guard lost an F-16 in the U.P. a few months back literally miles from my Mother in Law s home in the Hiawatha Forest

God Bless our Military and all their hard work and freedom they give us
 
I just received the names. 2 of the 3 were good friends of mine. The third soul I did not know as he was new to the unit.

Thanks for the comments, I will be alright. I just pray for the families of those we lost yesterday and for the crew themselves.
 
May they rest in peace...

Men who volunteer to join the military and serve our country deserve so much more respect than most people give them.... It's not new but it seems to be on the rise again...
