CAMP FOSTER, Okinawa — Kadena Air Base will hold memorial services next week for two airmen killed in an off-base motorcycle collision Monday.

Senior Airman Kristie M. Arroyo, 24, a member of the 909th Air Refueling Squadron who was from Fort Bragg, N.C., will be memorialized Monday at 3 p.m. at the air base’s Chapel 1, according to the 18th Wing public affairs office.

The memorial for Staff Sgt. Ronald G. Dayce, 25, a member of the 18th Component Maintenance Squadron and a native of Fairfield, Calif., is scheduled for Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. at Chapel 1.
