Ryan O’Hara

From Arlington County

Ryan O’Hara, the crew chief on the Black Hawk helicopter that was part of Wednesday’s crash, was a “wonderful kid” who had a smile for everyone and loved being in the Army, his father said. He had just texted his dad earlier on Wednesday about a new assignment that might bring him, his wife and their 1-year-old son back to Georgia later this year
