🚨 BREAKING — The six U.S. military service members killed in the crash of a KC-135 Stratotanker during operations connected to the Iran conflict have now been identified.

They are:
1. Maj. John A. Klinner, 33

3. Tech. Sgt. Ashley B. Pruitt, 34
4. Capt. Seth R. Koval, 38

The aircraft went down March 12th over western Iraq during a refueling mission in support of ongoing military operations.

Officials say the incident happened in friendly airspace, and the cause of the crash remains under investigation. 

Three of the airmen were assigned to MacDill Air Force Base in Florida, while the other three served with the Ohio Air National Guard’s 121st Air Refueling Wing. 

Each one of them leaves behind family, friends, and communities now mourning a devastating loss.

Please help with honoring these six heroes.
