DOVER, De - Two Army Special Operations soldiers, who were killed in a helicopter crash last week, were returned to the United States early Tuesday morning during a Dignified Transfer ceremony at Dover Air Force Base.

26 year old Staff Sergeant Tanner Grone of Gorham, NH and 27 year old Sergeant Andrew Southard of Apache Junction, AZ were two of five who lost their lives during a training exercise in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea on Friday.

They were in the region as part of the U.S. plans around the war between Israel and Hamas.
