HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) -Staff SGT. Andrew Seif of the Holland area is among 11 military members aboard a Black Hawk helicopter that crashed into the Golf of Mexico off of the Florida panhandle.
The funerals for three U.S. Marines from Michigan who were killed during a training exercise off the Florida coast are being held across the state right now, but the Governor says he will not be ordering the state’s flags lowered to half-staff.
The Governor’s office says that Mr. Snyder has been in contact with family members, but state protocol only calls for lowering flags when servicemen die in combat, not during training.
