We appreciate all the prayers and support from the strong extended Purple Fox family and want them to know that more information will be forthcoming on how to help.
Commanding General of 3rd MAW Maj. Gen. Bradford J. Gering said in a statement, “We mourn the loss of our Marines in this tragic mishap.
