Thomas Morris' memories will live on through his wife of 11 years, Mary, their son, Thomas, their stepchildren, Tara Underwood, Akai Snorten, their grandchildren, Thomas's two sisters, Yvonne Hankerson and Sheila Howard. Joseph Curseen's life will be remembered by his wonderful wife of 16 years, Celeste, his parents, Billie and Joseph, his two younger sisters, Joan and Janice. We will also remember them, we will remember them every day. I offer my deepest condolences to the family members. We can only say that while no medal or plaque or ceremony can truly convey our sadness for those who lost their lives, it is important that we in Congress show the rest of this country and the world how we value their bravery. Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of this measure.
