Hi my name is Sandie. This is my nephew Lance Corporal Eric John Niss-De Jesus he is currently an active duty US Marine currently missing off the coast of Okinawa Japan. He was swimming with three fellow Marines when they were caught by a rip current. Three of the four were able to make it back to shore. We are now entering day three of search and rescue and our hopes remain high. We are asking for any help for his family during this difficult time. They are flying to Japan today the USMC is taking care of there passage but we would like to help with their stay and any unforeseen expenses. We greatly appreciate your thoughts and prayers at this time, as all our hearts go out to Eric and his family.
