    The crews have been identified in Hawaii. Makes me think about what the word "sacrifice" really means. Prayers up in Maine. May they all rest in peace.

    Freedom doesn't come without sacrifice on someones part. Unfortunately, these men paid the ultimate sacrifice. Remember this when you're having a bad day over something trivial.:(

    A group of Marines walk the beach outside the Haleiwa Incident Command Post in Haleiwa, Hawaii.

    (Reuters) - Twelve U.S. Marines missing after two military helicopters collided last week off Hawaii's Oahu island have been listed as deceased, the military said on Thursday.

    The Coast Guard called off the search for the missing Marines on Tuesday after five days of search and rescue efforts across some 40,000 square nautical miles of ocean, along with shorelines.

    The Marines were officially classified as deceased on Wednesday and Marine Corps officers personally notified each family, a statement from the Marines said.
