Funeral Service Held for Airman Killed in Osprey Crash

Jacob M. Galliher Remembered as a Leader and Friend, Crash Raises Safety Concerns About Osprey Aircraft

US Air Force Staff Sergeant Jacob M. Galliher, 24, was remembered as a leader and friend at his funeral service held at St. Agnes Catholic Community church in Dalton.
Galliher was one of eight service members who died in a CV-22 Osprey crash off the coast of Japan during a training mission on Nov. 29.
The funeral service was attended by family, friends, servicemembers, and notable figures including Senator Elizabeth Warren, Senator Ed Markey, U.S. Representative Richard Neal, and Jiro Usui, Consulate General of Japan in Boston.
Galliher's remains were the first to be found after the crash, which led to the grounding of all Osprey V-22 aircraft by the U.S. military.
The crash has raised new questions about the safety of the Osprey V-22 aircraft, which has been involved in multiple fatal accidents.
