SUMMARY: Following the deaths of two soldiers in a Mississippi helicopter crash, the Army National Guard has implemented an aviation safety stand down to review policies and procedures. Soldiers Bryan Andrew Zemek, 36, and Derek Joshua Abbott, 42, tragically lost their lives in an AH-64 Apache during a training flight in Prentiss County. Lt. Gen. Jon A.
