5 Marines killed in helicopter crash are identified: "Every service family's worst fear"
The Marines are Lance Cpl. Donovan Davis, 21, a crew chief from Kansas; Sgt. Alec Langen, 23, a crew chief from Arizona; Capt. Benjamin Moulton, 27, a pilot from Idaho; Capt. Jack Casey, 26, a pilot from New Hampshire; and Capt. Miguel Nava, 28, a pilot from Michigan, according to a 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing news release Friday.
π₯²There was a memorial service Friday for the five young marines who died in a helicopter crash in Pine Valley Feb. 7.
Family, friends and other members of our military gathered to pay their respects and share memories at Marine Corps Air Station in Miramar.
All five of the Marines were in their 20s. So many of them come from military families where becoming a Marine was a lifelong dream.

@nursefrombirth the sad part is that none of those marines had any choice in the matter, meaning they could not say "no" to the flight.
@nursefrombirth so young so sad. My best to the families and loved ones
