The same day he died, 7 brave American servicemen went down in a helicopter. Anyone remember any of their names?

Actually, there were 6 that were killed in a collision of Black Hawk helicopters on a training mission the following day, Monday February 12th, in Hawaii. All were aboard the same helicopter. There were 11 others who were in the other helicopter that walked away or were injured in some capacity.

Those killed were...

Chief Warrant Officer George Perry (Pilot)
Chief Warrant Officer Greg Montgomery
Sgt. Thomas Barber
Spc. Bob MacDonald
Maj. Robert Olson
Spc. Rafael Olvera-Rodriguez.

May their souls rest in peace.
