U.S. and Japanese crews continue to search for the remains of the last crew member killed when an Air Force CV-22B Osprey crashed off the coast of southwestern Japan last month, the Air Force said recently.

Divers searched the waters around Yakushima, an island just south of Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan’s four main islands, for the remains of Maj. Eric Spendlove, 36, of St. George, Utah, Air Force Special Operations Command said in a Facebook post Wednesday.

“Locating and recovering our eighth Airman remains the primary effort,” the command wrote.

Salvage teams meanwhile are working to recover the tiltrotor aircraft, according to several Air Force Special Operations Command news releases.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
