Officials have released the identities of three of the four U.S. soldiers found dead in Lithuania. Sgt. Jose Duenez, Jr., 25, of Joliet, Illinois; Sgt. Edvin F. Franco, 25, of Glendale, California; and Pfc. Dante D. Taitano, 21, of Dededo, Guam, were all identified by officials on Tuesday. A fourth soldier was found on Tuesday, but his identity has not yet been released. Crews in Lithuania also retrieved the M88 Hercules armored recovery vehicle they were traveling in, which sank in a swamp last week.
“The soldiers were deployed to Lithuania in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve, and were permanently stationed at Fort Stewart, Georgia,” according to the Army. The cause of the accident remains unclear.
