RIP Major Voas and MSgt Lackey. My thoughts and prayers out to those with whom they served, and to their families and friends back at home.

A Ranger also died in this crash. My prayers are also with his unit, family and friends. I am praying really hard for any others who may have been on the aircraft when it went down...
