somebody,” Samantha said in the CNN interview.
The others who lost their lives in the crash of Light Attack Helicopter Squad- ron 469 were identified as Capt. Christo- pher Norgren, 31, the pilot, of Wichita, Kansas; Capt. Dustin R. Lukasiewicz , also a pilot, of Nebraska; and Sgt. Ward M. Johnson, 29, of Florida.
Marine combat photographer Cpl. Sara Medina, of Illinois, and Marine combat videographer Lance Cpl. Jacob Hug, 22, of Phoenix, were on board as part of Marine Corps Installations Pacif- ic, Okinawa, Japan. The Nepalese sol- diers were identified as Tapendra Rawal and Basanta Titara.
Eric’s wife resides in Murrieta with their
two young children, ages 2-1/2 and 1. It was reported that she and Eric both gradu- ated from Elsinore High School, where a candlelight vigil was held on Sunday.
Canyon Lake residents Ruben Flores, Leigh Clark, and Robert and Renee Freire were among those who attended the vigil. Ruben says, “Although we never had the pleasure nor the honor of meeting Sgt. Seaman, his in-laws live here in Canyon Lake, and we just wanted to show the family our support and let them know how thankful we are for his service and ultimate sacrifice. There were several hundred people in attendance with family, friends, fellow Marines and others sharing memories of what a great man Eric was.”
Leigh adds, “A lady from Nepal spoke and brought the house down in
tears, apologizing for this terrible trag- edy for her country. Sam(antha) told her, ‘This is what Eric wanted to do; he volunteered to go there.’ I must say that it was a very heartfelt, memorable and fitting tribute to a true American hero who died helping others on behalf of the United States, something that Sgt. Sea- man and his fallen Marine brothers will always be remembered for.”
On a GoFundMe.com website raising money for her family, Samantha wrote, “Thank you everyone for all of your love and support, as this past week of my life has been truly agonizing. I have been surrounded by the people that love Eric most since we learned he was miss- ing. I have seen things that have touched me and my family like people holding flags at the intersection by my house and
fire trucks driving by in support. I wish I could put into words how much every one of you mean to me and my family.”
She adds, “I know my husband is proud of his country for loving his family. We are working on planning Eric’s me- morial and burial at this time. It will be open to anybody and everybody who Eric has touched. I want it to be huge. My hus- band deserves the world and I’m going to do everything I can to make sure we celebrate him in the biggest way possible. This pain in my heart will never subside, but with all of you behind my family I am doing my best to learn to manage it. Thank you, I love you all dearly.”
