CG-6535-tributeFinding the remains of three of the four crew of a Coast Guard Dolphin (MH-65C) Helicopter that crashed near Point Clear, Alabama, the agencies involved are calling off the search (that spanned nearly 1,200 nautical miles) and are now focused on recovery of the aircraft.

The remains of Lt. Cmdr. Dale Taylor, Lt. j.g. Thomas Cameron, and Chief Petty Officer Fernando Jorge have been recovered.  The remaining crew member, Petty Officer 3rd Class Andrew Knight, is still missing.

The Coast Guard has a tribute site up where you can leave a comment/message.

Our thoughts and prayers are with their families and with their teammates.
