He was asleep UNDER the tank, and another soldier started it and moved it. It was really sad, he left behind a pregnant wife and 3-4 year old boy. I was a florist then, I did his casket spray and the family pieces.

"The Department of Defense announced today that Marine Major Kevin G. Nave, 36, of Union Lake, Mich., was killed March 26 in a non-hostile vehicle accident in Iraq. Major Nave was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Camp Pendleton, Calif. The accident is under investigation."
