"Honoring the brave men and women who have served our nation faithfully is incredibly important to me. Their commitment and sacrifice are unparalleled and it fills me with a deep sense of pride for this country to have the opportunity to recognize these remarkable individuals. A special thank you to the Goodfellow Air Force Base Heritage Committee, the Heritage Chapter - Freedom Through Vigilance Association, the EC-47 History Site, and the incredible staff at Goodfellow for making this ceremony possible," said Rep.
