FOREST GROVE, Ore. (AP) — The body of an Oregon sailor who was killed while serving as a medic with the Marines in Afghanistan arrived Saturday at Dover Air Force Base for transfer to Forest Grove where his funeral will be held.

Ryley Gallinger-Long will be buried in Willamette National Cemetery.

The 19-year-old from Cornelius was killed Thursday. His brother Zack Gallinger-Long of Hillsboro told The Oregonian (http://bit.ly/nwKYX1 ) he was shot while tending to a wounded Marine.

Ryley Gallinger-Long was a 2010 graduate of Forest Grove High School who married his high school sweetheart in March. He was assigned to a Marine unit at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
