North County Marine killed in helicopter crash
OGDENSBURG, N.Y. — A North County man was killed in Friday’s crash of two U.S. military transport helicopters off the east coast of Africa.
The family of Lance Cpl. Nicholas Sovie, 20, of Ogdensburg was notified of his death Saturday afternoon.
Rescue crews called off operations Saturday as the U.S. military said it had accounted for the 10 troops who went missing after the crash.
The military was not announcing the fate of the troops until families were notified.
The helicopters were on a nighttime training mission.
A Pentagon spokesman said Friday there was no indication of hostile fire.
Sovie’s body is expected to be brought...

Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening,
into the house and gate of heaven,
to enter into that gate, and dwell in that house where there shall be
no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light;
no noise nor silence, but one equal music;
no fears nor hopes, but one equal possession;
no ends nor beginnings, but one equal eternity;
in the habitation of Thy glory and dominion,
world without end. Amen.
