★★★ Memorial Monday ★★★
LTjg Nick Juron, USN '02 was lost on December 13, 2005 when his SH-60 Seahawk crashed into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Columbia during anti-drug operations. His helicopter had just launched from USS DeWert (FFG 45). The two other crew aboard were also killed.
A native of Lexington Park, Maryland, Nick received a perfect score on his SAT, was a member of the National Eagle Scout Association, and earned a spot on the USA Rugby team. He was remembered a friend, teammate, and classmate as "one of the smartest guys I knew as well as a fierce competitor both on and off the pitch."
Nick has a memorial marker in Arlington National Cemetery.
To Honor! ⚓
