PO1 Joshua Harris - Afghanistan

My thoughts and prayers to Petty Officer Harris, his family, team mates and friends.

Rest easy Warrior.

I was in the first aircraft on the scene to help in the search for Josh. We spent almost 3 hours going up and down that part of the river looking for him, with no luck. All we had were NVG's, though. We were replaced on station by some better-equipped aircraft, but they likewise had no luck in finding him. It tears me up to know that we must have flown over him about 10 times during the night, and we never saw him. We eventually had to stand down because of weather and our aircraft's lack of capability. The part of the river where he was lost is an extremely rough section, as soon as I heard that he fell in, I hoped for the best, but feared the worst.

RIP.
