senate 05/22/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to authorize the relocation of a memorial honoring nine Air Force crew members who tragically died in a 1982 training crash, moving it to a more accessible site within the Nantahala National Forest. This effort ensures their sacrifice is respectfully remembered while adhering to environmental and funding guidelines.
