Sorry for your loss, may God bless your family and help make it through the tuff times. I happened to be on The Epoch Times site and they mentioned the story. I have a link I hope you don't mind me posting it here. If so I understand and will remove the link.

At approximately 6:30 pm a National Guard Blackhawk helicopter crashed near Rochester, NY. My son was on that chopper, like the rest of the crew he was killed. He served one tour in Iraq and a second tour in Afghanistan flying medevac choppers. He's been a guardsman for nearly 20 years. He has been a civilian pilot for about 5 years for the NYS Police. He has 2 other brothers who are also pilots, one who also flew Blackhawks in the Army and the one a civilian fixed wing pilot. Their Grandfather, my father in law, was a corporate pilot for Eastman Kodak in Rochester, NY. Since this forum is so family oriented I thought you folks would like to know this. My son's name is Christian Koch. Thank you, his Father, Dave.

Dave, you have my deepest heartfelt sympathy
my deepest gratitude goes out to you, your sons family
& friends
for his service to our country, he gave it all
Sad to hear, that such a horrid thing
(he died here, not in a war, or tour of duty abroad)
Thank you to him or even you, just isn't enough
Gods speed Christian
