Please get it right !!! It`s NOT Broadway Ave......It`s plain BROADWAY...Trust me,I`ve lived here for 31 years.

If it`s supposed to be Broadway Ave., then the Township should correct our Street Signs.

Wow, rather than send good wishes to these two young men after this tragic accident it becomes about the name of a street??? The Navy SEAL is the son of a friend of mine. My heart breaks for both families as they go through this. Prayers and positive thoughts for all involved.

I'm with you Michelle. Really there are young men here who were seriously hurt and you worry about the name of the street.
I know these two familes more so the Klenks and have been through hardship before with them. They are a great family and they are very close to one another. My heart, my thoughts and my prayers go out to both of these families. I am praying for the best. If there is anything that either of these families may need all that have to do is ask.

I guess the big question is, what dimwit poured gasoline onto the logs? I am sorry for both men who are burned. Burns are devastating.

My thoughts and prayers are with all involved with this horrible explosion. I have learned this expostion happened at a homecoming party for a Navy SEAL who had just returned from Afghanistan. He was the most severely injured with 77% of his body burnt and was flown to Temple University's burn center.
As the president of America 4R Marines NPO we would like to see if there is anything we can do to send our love and support to his family. I have spoken to a few others as well that are standing by to see where or whom we can provide support to at this time. We've heard Pasquale (the Navy SEAL) remains in critical condition. If anyone has contact information for his family or his friend who held the party we would be most grateful if you could contact us at 215-659-0311.
We do not want to intrude on the familys privacy at this time and realize until Pasquale is out of critical condition prayers are the most needed.
Please contact me with any updates or information oh the best method to contact the family.

God be with you, and your family.

In the picture the individual is wearing a United States Marine Corps uniform. Is the picture of the Navy SEAL or of someone else?

navy eals dont wear US Marine Corps uniforms----fix the photo or take it out

For everyone concerned about the uniform shown in the picture, it is not unheard of for Navy personnel to wear USMC uniforms when assigned to Marine Corp units. I know; we have a Navy Chaplain in the family who served with the Marines.

See last week's article:

"Most recently in Afghanistan, Troisi was part of the radio reconnaissance platoon, which collects tactical intelligence for the Marine Corps Radio Battalion."

Thoughts and prayers for these young men and their families.

my sincere prayers and best wishes go out to these families As i type this i am typing with bandaged hands from burns i received in a explosion in my home. Burns are by far the worst pain......im into week # 2 and the pain is unbelievable. I too would like to contact the family to lend my support. If anyone knows of a address or # feel free to contact me as well. 641-430-7896. may god bless theses soldiers.

Wow. What a terrible shame that this has happen. he now knows how those, hundreds of thousands, who have been burned to death by our false war there in afghanvietnamistan felt when they lost their children? I hope and pray that this young man lives through this terrible incident. Over a million innocents have not.

The guy who poured gas on the logs was Darwin's intended victim in the explosion. Too bad some others were collateral damage in nature's attempt to thin the herd of those who should never breed.

He is not a SEAL. He is a member of the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) on land and, currently, at sea in the midst of a Western Pacific deployment. In none of his pictures does he wear the Trident. Though this is horrible in regards to what happened. The record needs to be set straight so this article doesn't get false publicity in regards to claiming Troisi is a SEAL. If you want more information about Troisi, check this site out:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1456490/posts

Father in heaven; I pray for this man. I lift him up to you and ask for your blessing and healing upon his body. If it be your will, may his healing be swift and confound all the doctors who are treating him. For your glory. Here, now and forever more. In Jesus Christs Name. Amen.

Isn't it said that most accidents happen within a 3 miles radius of home? What a horrible thing to happen. The man who poured gasoline on the wet logs shoould be held accountable for doing such a stupid thing. I'm sure a 5 year old would know better.

He is definitly not a Seal..Hopefully its just a reporters error..Either way, being burned
that bad is the worst thing imaginable..

The article you are referencing is from 2005...8 yrs ago...how do you know what he has done since then? Wow...between uniforms and street signs you wouldn't know that this young man that served 3 tours is in an induced coma and looking a long painful recovery! He didn't write the article or provide the pictures!!! I am sure he is not trying to pass himself off.

Let them kill overseas, and brag in the media, but do NOT give SEALS matches or gasoline. They never was none too bright.

There is a link to the video in the beginning of the article. In the video he is shown in a sailors uniform with a trident and jump wings. Sailors do not wear marine uniforms. He probably enlisted in the marines and transferred to the navy at some point then went through buds. Hang in there shipmate!

A story published in Sunday's edition incorrectly identified Pasquale Troisi's rank in the Navy. He did not complete SEAL training.

For all of you saying that Navy personnel don't wear USMC uniforms check out the Asst Chief of Chaplains, RADM M. Kibben. She is a Navy officer assigned to be the Chaplain of the Marine Corps and she wears USMC uniforms (Alpha, Bravo, Charlies and MARPAT cammies). No one other than a Marine can wear their Dress Blue uniforms.

STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES, MA'AM!

Wow- you people are heartless, bored, and sick! This is a friend of mine and you are arguing with eachother over street names, uniforms, etc- may god have mercy on your mindless heartless souls and grant you some knowledge and common sense. For those of you praying- thank you

UNBELIEVABLE--- There is a young man that lay in a hospital who's world was turned upside down. this young man as well as the others that were hurt are suffering from extreme pain and will have the thoughts of this accident running through their minds the rest of thier lives. Who the hell cares at this point about the uniform? Are you idiots? There is a time and place and THIS IS NEITHER OF THEM! Grow up. If you want to address this go sit with your friends and talk about it but don't bring this to this public site where his family who is already suffering watch him get butchered. Either way no matter what uniform he has on he has done something positive with his life and not one of you self proclaimed DIVINE JUDGES have mentioned that. And I will bet that doesn't even bother you. If your life is that sad --KEEP IT TO YOURSELF---But in the meantime KEEPP THIS YOUNG MAN IN YOUR PRAYERS!

So sad that he survived Afghanistan only to be seriously injured at home.
Fate is not always kind.

Wow, He better go back over there. They don't have front loading stoves.

I cannot believe all of these PETTY RIDICULOUS KNOW IT ALL COMMENTS about street names, uniforms, insignia, branch and proving how smart you are by providing a link and making threats about how he will get in trouble, ect. I am a USN Officer and cannot stand people who need to make themselves feel important by commenting on things they know nothing about or that doesn't matter. He is an RP2 serving with the 1st Marines and has had 5 tours in Combat. The PRESS got his info wrong. They mostly always do as they normally have no clue! Do you really think he gave any type of interview?? And he is a local man, his Mom is local and the family is devastated. Stop being Blowhards and just be quiet. Pretty pathetic some of you are so intent on examining his insignia and uniform. Pathetic!!

Part one of two comments---Im so angry right now by some of the comments here your an embarressment!
There was miscommunication from the media and his grandfather who is 93 years old and is proud as can be of his grandson WHO DID GO THRU 4 YEARS OF TRAINING WITH THE NAVY SEALS! He did go through training with the SEALS for 4 years!

Plus the link someone provided was from 2005! Do your research right if you want to snoop!

Here is part of another article from Philyburbs.com on this Hero explaining why he stopped his SEAL training:
He started training for the Navy SEALs in 2008. He quit after four years because he kept getting injured.
Troisi had to pass a rigorous screening test that weeded out all but the brightest and most physically fit. The subsequent schooling involved tasks such as 4-mile swims in the ocean, long-distance runs in harsh conditions and team activities that pushed the young men to their limits. During one such activity, teams of seven carried half a telephone pole uphill, lifted it overhead and used it to do sit-ups and push-ups.
During the training, Troisi suffered injuries to his spine. He lost 70 percent of the strength in his right arm and had to undergo neurosurgery; the surgeon took out some bones along his neck and replaced them with titanium.
So there ya go people! Happy now? Does it matter if Pasquale was a Private or a Navy SEAL for you to show some compassion!?

Part Two of two---Darn some of you people are ignorant and rude considering this horrible accident that happened to anyone, let alone someone just returning from combat!! And to that jerk that posted, “now he knows what the children in Vietnam and Afghanistan feels like” , YOU cannot be an American Citizen, and if you are, it is evident no one in your family has such the bravery, or can handle such personal sacrifices it takes to serve our country!! You are clueless!
Pasquale is a member of our Armed Forces that just returned from Afghanistan! He was looking forward to being with his family and now is holding onto his dear life!

Prayers are needed and support is needed, and if you’re an ignorant ungrateful American then shame on you! This young man no matter what his rank, signed on the dotted line to continue to fight for the freedoms most of you take for granted!
God Bless all our Military and their families

@SuppoUSN Pathetic isn't a strong word for some of these morons! Thank you for being much kinder with your words that I wanted to be. Darn shame I coudn't blast them all a new one! This is what our Heroes like yourself have to deal with! Ungrateful, ignorant, obnoxiously rude Americans (if they are legal) citizens.
I have been talking to a friend of his mothers as the community wants to help send support in any way possible. I do want to speak to someone on where the support is needed the most. If you have such info Im well aware of The Privacy Act and only need general info. I am president of America 4R Marines NPO if you have such info please call me at 215-659-0311
God Bless
Semper Fortis!
Thank you for your service to our great country!

Thanks Patty for your comments. I left you a voice mail message with the name and number for the benefit/fundraiser coordinator.

Thanks Barb! I have been talking to your sister since last week. We have some financial help on the way to Pasquale's family. I'm praying like there is tomorrow that he makes it through this crucial stage. I can not imagine the stress and worry his family is going through. The least we can do is make sure their daily needs are met to help them along.
Thanks so much for your response!
God bless you and yours
Patty

I wish I would have learned more about you. It's unfortunate that it takes a situation like this for me to see how many great things you have accomplished in your life. I wish I had found more training for you to do. I know how much you like training. You were very passionate about it. I remember how good it felt to see that you came back from your deployment. I wish I had at least spoken to you more than I did the day I saw you standing in the doorway at the CAS. To some it may not be much, but I know that you were guaranteed to say hello even if it was in passing. Most people that say hi to me do so because they were trained to do so. You said hello out of camaraderie. For that I give you much respect. I know there is much more in a hello now because of you. I hope you and your entire family will get through this time with the same strength and courage that made you the man that you are today. We also look forward to the day when we can see you back in the gym wearing out the Chaplain ensuring he can stays in shape. All of our prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family during this challenging time. From all of us here at 1st Radio Battalion to you and yours, Sincerely Staff Sergeant Thompson USMC.

OORAH SSgt. Thompson. As you have just shown us family also includes Pasquale's extended family- his Brothers in Arms. The bond whether attached to 1st Radio Battlaion for 6 months or a year there is a strong bond thats formed. You always have each other backs in good times and in times such as the Troisi family is going through now. Pasquale is a tough as nails and we know that will help him in the days that lie ahead. Our continued prayers will give strength to Pasquale as well as all the Troisi family.
Semper Fidelis says it all

This kid is a tough kid and there are some derogatory comments on here that should not be here.
This is tough situation for a great young man and his family.If you have a comment other than you wish the family the best or he and the family are in your prayers than shut the @@@@ up.
He has served and is a brave kid.His Family is hurting and deserves all of our prayers.
If you have love and prayers for this family than post it. If you have a stupid comment post it with your picture so we know who to look for.

I agree John. I am very disappointed that Patch evidently does not monitor the comment Section. Granted Americans are fortunate to have Freedom of Speech because of brave young men and woman like Pasquale, those that made just plain disrespectful comments should be deleted and banned.

May you all be at peace knowing that Pasquale passed away. Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves with the things you said, insinuated, and argued about while Pasquale was fighting to live. How dare you. I've never seen such idiocracy!
Those who decided to mock, judge, name call, and add pain to this family, might want to say a prayer for a grieving family.

OMG! I'm in tears here! I was praying beings he made it this long he'd make it. But God had another plan. Im sure with the severity of his burns it works have been a long painful process. Rest in Peace dear Pasquale. I'm
sure all your brothers and sisters that served and oassed before you met you at heavens gate.
My deepest condolences to his family, friends and Brothers In Arms
Semper Fortis.

Looking at most of the comments, because I was done reading the stupid ones...he fought for his country, came home and died in an accident...it doesn't natter the exact street address, the acts of others or anything else. He defended us, came home finally and died here. It is so sad. He deserves all the respect all Americans have.

Our hearts are truly broken to hear that RP2 Pasquale Troisi has passed away leaving behind his loving family, fiancee, children and so many friends. My husband, CDR Val J. Jensen and Pasquale served together during their deployment with the Marines to Iraq in 2005 and 2006. Pasquale was my husband's bodyguard and his assistant as his Religious Program Specialist. Both of them were an "Energy Team" because you could see how well they worked together to provide support for their fellow Marines and Sailors while serving in Iraq and upon their return to Camp Pendleton. They had a great sense of humor especially when it came to football season. The Buffalo Bills, San Diego Chargers and the Philadelphia Eagles were a favorite topic as to who would end up with a winning season.
Pasquale always spoke highly and lovingly of his family and we knew that they were supportive of him as he served God and his country. How deeply saddened we are to hear this tragic news. We extend our deepest love and sympathy for his dear family, fiancee and children. Those little ones were the pride in his eyes. Pasquale always exhibited his concern for the welfare of those with whom he served. We consider it an honor to have been in his presence during our time together and he will be sorely missed. Our love and our prayers are extended to all who are grieving over this terrible, tragic loss.
CDR and Mrs. Val J. Jensen (Kate), CHC, USN(Ret), Kristen Clark-Hassell and Val II
