“Mr. Speaker, I rise this Memorial Day weekend to honor Navy Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Christopher J. Chambers and Navy Special Warfare Operator 2nd Class Nathan Gage Ingram, who tragically died during a mission in the Arabian Sea on January 11 of this year. I knew Chris personally. He was a native of Prince George's County, Maryland, and a beloved son of the Cheverly community. He participated in the Boys and Girls Club and was a member of the Cheverly swim team. Chris' presence as a leader impacted the lives of many, including my kids, while he coached them during their swim team participation. He attended Bishop McNamara High School and graduated in 2009 from the University of Maryland, College Park. Chris began his service in the United States Navy in 2012, graduating from SEAL training in 2014. A decorated servicemember, his awards include the Navy/Marine Corps Achievement Medal with Combat ``C'' and three Navy/Marine Corps Achievement Medals. He is survived by his parents, Charles and Lois Chambers; his wife, Alyssa Chambers; and daughter, Kennedy Chambers. Nathan Gage Ingram of Texas enlisted in the United States Navy in 2019 and went on to graduate from SEAL training in 2021. As we approach this Memorial Day, let us pause to remember Chris, Nathan, and all brave servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our Nation. We thank them for their service, and our prayers are forever with their families and their loved ones. ____________________”
