The parents of Master Sgt. William “Bub” McDaniel II, killed in a chopper crash in the Philippines ten years ago, February 22, 2002, would like closure. They wanted one minute to speak with Pres. Obama while in Dayton Monday night at UD Arena. They wanted him to ask  military officials to check the shore line around some of the islands close to where their son was killed in search of  his remains. 

The family wants to lay him to rest. 

The Chinook transport helicopter was on a night time training mission when the crash occurred. There were no survivors. All ten soldiers on board were killed. Two bodies were never recovered, one was McDaniel. He was a pararescueman with the United States Air Force. 

His parents said they have written letters to Obama and the First Lady Michelle Obama, but they have gone unanswered.
