An Ohio native was identified as one of the four U.S. Marines who were killed during a recent training exercise in Europe.
United States Sens. Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman, both of Ohio, released the following regarding the 30-year-old’s death:
“Our hearts break for the family of James Speedy, a Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant from Cambridge. He made the ultimate sacrifice for our country during a routine NATO exercise in Norway. His death is a blow for the Cambridge community and our entire state. My thoughts are with his family, who received the hardest news anyone can hear. May the lives he worked to save be a comfort to all who knew and loved him. His selflessness and dedication to country will be his legacy.
We pray for the family of Gunnery Sergeant James Speedy from Cambridge, Ohio, and his fellow Marines who valiantly gave their lives in the service of their country in the crash of an Osprey aircraft during an exercise in Norway
