The telegram reads as follows:

 “The tragedy that happened near Savannah, when members of the Puerto Rico Air National Guard died as their WC-130 Hercules plane crashed, points to the fact that the military calling is very difficult and responsible.

Please extend our sympathies to the families and colleagues of the perished.”
