Eight service members are presumed dead after their amphibious vehicle sank Thursday.
The Marine Corps says the vehicle sank into several hundred feet of water between 0.6 and 1.2 miles off San Clemente Island's beach and was within the sight of other AAVs. Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. David Berger says the search ended because"all resources were exhausted." I know all of us in the USMC family are extremely saddened following the announcement of the end of SAR operations. This difficult decision was made after all resources were exhausted. Our prayers continue to be with the family and friends of the 8 Marines and one Sailor we lost.
