Congresswoman Dina Titus of Nevada's Third District released the following statement today after two servicemen deployed from Nellis Air Force Base were killed in Afghanistan.
"The sad news that two of our fine troops based out of Nellis Air Force Base were killed in the line of duty is a stark reminder of the sacrifice our men and women in uniform make to keep our country safe. Joel Gentz and David Smith's bravery and service to our nation were nothing short of heroic as they protected the values that we hold dear. My thoughts and prayers are with their families during this sad time."
