It's been almost a month since a helicopter carrying members of the Navy and National Guard went down in Pocohontas County.

On Wednesday, folks in Elkins held a celebration in honor of those who helped in the rescue effort.

Rescue crews from local fire departments, State Police, and even the National Guard were at the event, to share their experiences in the rescue effort.

Back on February 18th, a Navy helicopter carrying 14 Navy and three National Guard members went down in a snowy, mountain area of Pocohontas County.

Officials announced at the ceremony that, of the 17 passengers and crew on board that helicopter, only two are still in the hospital. And both of them are expected to make a full recovery and return to work.
