As more details are made public, the more heartbreaking this becomes.  Turns out the mortar tilted towards the group of people at the party and he stepped in front of it to protect his friend/teammate and his family.  A truly selfless act......

Sad story. Been somewhat of a Bluejackets fan for a few years. One of my underdog teams to root for every year.
