SAN DIEGO — A memorial service will be held Friday for the seven Coast Guardsmen and two Marines killed when an airplane collided with a Marine helicopter off the coast of San Diego.
The ceremony will be held at the Sacramento station where the C-130 Coast Guard plane was based.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Allyson Conroy said a search for bodies has ended; no bodies have been recovered.
The plane was searching for a missing boater when it collided Oct. 29 with the helicopter, which was on a training exercise.
A joint Marines-Coast Guard board is investigating the cause of the crash.
