I rise today to offer House Concurrent Resolution 47 to honor the 21 members of the National Guard who tragically lost their lives last Saturday. Eighteen members of the 203rd Red Horse Engineering Flight from the Virginia Air National Guard based at Camp Pendleton in the district I represent and three members of the 171st Aviation Battalion of the Florida Army National Guard were killed when their Army C-23 Sherpa aircraft crashed in a field in south-central Georgia. The Virginia National Guard lost 18 great men from the 203rd Red Horse Engineering Flight Squadron.
