The Department of Defense identifies the soldier who is still missing from a helicopter which crashed off the coast of Yemen last week.
The Department of Defense announced today the identity of a soldier listed as Duty Status Whereabouts Unknown (DUSTWUN). The announcement resulted from an Aug. 25 incident in Yemen where the soldier was supporting Operation Inherent Resolve.
Staff Sgt. Emil Rivera-Lopez is listed as DUSTWUN from the Aug. 25 incident. The incident is under investigation.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.
God be with you SSGT.
This soldier is the father to my grandchildren. I pray for his safe return or gods grace. Please pray for my grandchildren
One man missing is one too many. I can only hope that this is resolved soon.
