The Department of Defense said Saturday that another Marine who died in Thursday’s crash was from North Beach, Calvert County. They identified him as Cpl. Jesse W. Stites, 23, and said he had enlisted in 2009 and had been on his second deployment to Afghanistan. But his father-in-law, Mark L. Schwalenberg, who lives in Idaho, said Stites grew up in Florida and went to high school there. Schwalenberg said Stites never lived in Maryland. There is no record of a Stites in North Beach, and the town’s mayor, Mark Frazier, said he knew no one by that name. Officials from the NATO-led coalition said a cause of the crash is under investigation, but that they were examining a possible “technical fault.” They said there were no enemy troops in the area at the time. It was the worst crash in terms of deaths since 30 American personnel, including 22 Navy SEAL commandos, died in a helicopter crash in eastern Afghanistan in August. The Marines who died were assigned to Heavy Helicopter Squadron 363 with the Marine Expeditionary Force. Primary duties in Afghanistan included transporting troops, food and supplies. Others who died were identified as Capt. Nathan R. McHone, 29, of Illinois, Master Sgt. Travis W. Riddick, 40, of Iowa, Cpl. Kevin J. Reinhard, 25, of New Jersey, and Cpl. Joseph D. Logan, 22, of Texas. Riddick’s father told the Des Moines Register that his son had done three tours of duty in Iraq and two in Afghanistan, and had served in the president’s helicopter squadron, flying with Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.

Well this is a whole lot of interesting. Texie remember that stuff I found on KNOWLEDGE? You know that know the ledge stuff? The ledge or ledger is commonly known as a headstone, gravestone, gravemarker, possibly a keystone and I guess it would bode well for a Man to KNOW which side of the LEDGE he is on right? This intrigue grows every day.
