Rest In Peace, Soldiers
Two Army aviators have been killed in a military training accident.
The two lost their lives yesterday near Fort Campbell, KY. They were killed when their AH-64D attack helicopter crashed during a training accident.
The deceased were assigned to the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, 101st Airborne Division. Names have been withheld pending notification of next of kin.
No job in the military is risk free. Even routine peacetime training involves risk.
Rest in peace, brothers-in-arms. May God comfort your surviving friends and family.

AT EASE.

Damn! It got dusty in here all of a sudden.
RIP, brothers, RIP.
And God’s peace to your families.
Heard this on the local news last night that a helicopter from Ft Campbell went down in Montgomery county. Hoped for a better outcome. Rest in peace brave warriors, brave patriots. May God bless their families.
Rest in Peace fellow 101st Troopers. May God bless your families.
And please, no more stories about the deaths of 101st soldiers. We are only 10 days out from the 30th anniversary of Gander/Arrow Air Flight 1285 and I feel bad enough already. I always get pretty sad around this time of the year as I lost a very good friend on that flight.
May all deceased 101st Troopers Rest in Peace.

Amen.
Oh, sorry. That should be “no more stories about the deaths of 101st soldiers (right now).”
I flew Arrow Air from Sigonella, Sicily to the states back before the Gander crash. Very impressed with the friendly, professional crew. What a horrible accident; condolences, Claw.
Rest In Peace Fallen Warriors.
There but through the grace of God go I. Rest in peace, fellow aviators.
RIP!
The two were 2/17 Air Cav troopers, one a Dad of two children, aged 4 and 6. A recitation of the cavalry poem, Fiddler’s Green, can be found in this link, and in the link accompanying my comment of yesterday. It is a cav ritual of remembrance.
