19 Marines remembered in Marana, AZ
Someone dropped off a link to the story of the ceremony in Marana, Arizona for the 19 Marines who died in a plane crash there on April 8, 2000 during a training exercise;
Wreaths and flowers were laid at the memorial to honor those who lost their life serving our county.
It’s a job that Dakota Alvarez says makes her proud to call Sergeant Jose Alvarez her dad, but she misses him everyday.
“It was really kind of heartbreaking my dad died when I was six and I’m 21 now every year it just get harder and harder to deal with I mean I appreciate it it was so beautiful today but it’s just hard,” said Alvarez.
Because training for war is as deadly as the war itself, sometimes.

May the Angels of His Mercy bring solace to all their family and friends.
AW1 Tim…I paused a long time while reading this to try and find my words. However, I could not say it better than you have. Thank you for expressing my sentiments. God rest these warriors and God bless their families.
Wish I could have made the ceremony Yesterday.
RIP.. Brothers
Couldn’t make it either. Nothing to add except amen to Sparks’ prayer
Amen
And may the Angels of love and compassion hold gently in their wings the children of those gallant Warriors.
We are not capable of understanding God’s wisdom and actions.
All we can do is to know that it is all in his plan.
And Amen to the prayer AW1 Tim.
