Donald Trump Is Sworn In As 45th President Of The United States

It's been confirmed that one of the 16 military members killed this week when an air tanker crashed in Mississippi was a Florida Marine.  The refueling plane was carrying members of an elite Marine special ops unit for a training exercise when it crashed in a soybean field on Monday.  

Among the 15 Marines on board was Sergeant Joseph Murray of Jacksonville.  

The 26-year old left behind a wife and four small children, including twins who just turned one year old. 

A Navy sailor was also aboard the plane when it crashed.  

A cause is still under investigation.  Officials don't believe it was foul play.
