After learning late Monday evening that her husband, Marine Master Sgt. Jeffrey Briar, would have funeral ceremonies conducted at Arlington National Ceremony in Virginia at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Jennifer Crowley jumped in her car and drove through the night from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, in hopes she'd be able to see him and say goodbye.
Briar, 43, a communications chief with Headquarters Battalion, Tactical Training Exercise Control Group, at Twentynine Palms, California, died Sept. 22, 2019, shortly after he and Crowley were married in a beach ceremony at Del Mar, California. Tragically, he was pulled out to sea on a rip current while swimming with Crowley's two teenage children and could not be saved.
