Today Marks the loss of a second schoolmate serving in the U.S. Forces for me. The first was Dereck Argel, a special forces member, lost in Operation Iraqi Freedom http://www.sgtmacsbar.com/CCTPhotos/Gallery24/Argel/Argel.html and the second lost yesterday when a freak wave knocked his helicopter of a ship in the Red Sea as it was landing. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/09/23/20658789-navy-search-fails-to-find-lost-helicopter-crew-members?lite since this report the search has been called off. I played water polo my sophomore and junior year with Dereck and knew one of the missing crew members (Landon Jones) from church youth group. Both had young wifes and families and I hate the fact that their kids will never know them.
Wow. So sorry for your loss.
