The our bodies of 4 Marines who died in a navy plane crash throughout a NATO train had been transferred again to the U.S. Friday.
The U.S. Marine Corps stated an Osprey plane crashed on March 18 in a Norwegian city within the Arctic Circle, killing the 4 Marines. Officers with the Marines stated Saturday that a whole lot of U.S. Marines, sailors, service members and civilians rendered remaining salutes to the fallen Marines in Bodo, Norway, early Friday.
The our bodies of the Marines had been then positioned on board an Air Nationwide Guard navy transport plane and flown to Dover Air Power Base in Delaware, Marine Corps officers stated. The stays of the Marines will finally be moved to their remaining resting locations in line with their households' needs, officers stated in a press release.
