Last night, we received the sad news that two more Army Reserve soldiers from the 103rd Sustainment Command, based out of Des Moines, IA, were killed in Kuwait amid Operation Epic Fury. That includes MAJ Jeffrey O'Brien, who is from Indianola, and he has family in Waukee, IA. Their heroism should be remembered forever. These soldiers represent the best of Iowa and the best of the United States. We should never forget their sacrifice and their service. Barbara and I are praying for their loved ones in this time of grief, and we also pray for the safety of all soldiers serving in harm's way. I want to emphasize that this is the most significant housing package to be considered by Congress in decades. This bipartisan bill includes a wide range of proposals focused on increasing housing supply by cutting redtape and unlocking private capital. It updates Federal housing laws and empowers communities to address local housing needs.
