Staff report
The Navy has identified the 24-year-old sailor who is believed to have fallen overboard from a destroyer Thursday in the Arabian Sea, the Navy announced Monday.
Information Systems Technician 2nd Class Menelek M. Brown went missing as the destroyer Hopper was on patrol along with the cruiser Port Royal and the frigate Ingraham, the Navy said, prompting a 30-hour search by the ships and their helicopters.
Commanders initially believed Brown, who was last seen at 4:30 a.m. Thursday, had a good chance of survival because he went overboard in warm water, but he was never found. He was officially declared dead Friday.
Brown, of Roswell, N.M., enlisted in the Navy in 2004 and served aboard the frigate Bo

Your sacrifice will remain in our hearts for a lifetime,
with intense gratitude. May God bless you and your family.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms.
We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heros never dies.
