MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — U.S. Coast Guard officials say a memorial service is planned for Thursday to honor the crew of a helicopter that crashed in Mobile Bay a week ago.

The memorial service is planned for 10 a.m. at the Coast Guard Aviation Center in Mobile.

The MH-65C Dolphin helicopter crashed in the bay’s shallow waters during a training mission Feb. 28.

Searchers last week recovered the remains of Lt. Cmdr. Dale Taylor of Snow Hill, N.C.; and Lt. j.g. Thomas Cameron of Portland, Ore. Chief Petty Officer Fernando Jorge, had been found unresponsive and later pronounced dead shortly after the crash.

Petty Officer 3rd Class Andrew Knight, of the southwest Alabama town of Thomasville, remains missing.
