WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) – A Marine helicopter pilot from southern New Jersey who was killed in combat in Afghanistan late last month has been laid to rest.
Hundreds of people gathered Saturday at a Gloucester County church to honor Ryan K. Iannelli of East Greenwich Township. He was killed Sept. 28 when his helicopter crashed in the Helmand province.
The 27-year-old Iannelli was a first lieutenant at the time of his death, but was posthumously promoted to captain. A 2002 graduate of Kingsway Regional High School, he is survived by his parents and a sister.
