such sad news

Part of an Official e-mail
At approximately 1840 Saturday evening, Airman Apprentice .....fell from the flight deck of USS GEORGE WASHINGTON, landing on a Chinese vessel that was moored alongside. Medical personnel responded to the scene and found him unresponsive to life saving measures. This has been a tough loss for the DIAMONDBACKS, but we are coping well at the moment. It will still take a good deal of time to get through the grieving process and finally come to terms with this tragedy. He is sorely missed.

Alan, I just seen your post, I am still in Sasebo. I sure hope he arrived here ok.   My son is on the USS Germantown, and I am here another week. Each ship usually has a facebook page. I have found that if you comment on them, you usually get a response and sent to the right people.
