In loving memory
1965 – 2003
Major John M. Walsh · United States Marine Corps
Intro
On 22 January 2003, John Walsh and three fellow Marine Corps pilots were killed when their two Cobra helicopters collided near the U.S.–Mexico border. They were flying a night mission in support of the Border Patrol. His father, Larry, wrote: "John was loved by many people. He had many families." This gallery brings a few of them together — the people who flew with him, grew up with him, worked beside him — to share some of the ways he touched our lives. John, you are deeply missed.
