Miramar memorial service for five Marines who died in helicopter crash

There was a memorial service Friday for the five young marines who died in a helicopter crash in East County Feb. 7.

Family, friends and other members of our military gathered to pay their respects and share memories at Marine Corps Air Station in Miramar.

All five of the Marines were in their 20s. So many of them come from military families where becoming a Marine was a lifelong dream.

This includes 21-year-old Lance Corporal Donovan Davis, from Kansas; 23-year-old Sergeant Alec Langen from Arizona; 27-year-old Captain Benjamin Moulton from Idaho; 26-year-old Captain Jack Casey of New Hampshire; and 28-year-old Captain Miguel Nava from Michigan.

Each were well decorated with medals that include the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and National Defense Service Medal.
