House Passes Distinguished Flying Cross National Memorial Act

Statement

Today, the House of Representatives passed legislation introduced by Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) officially designating the Distinguished Flying Cross National Memorial at the March Field Air Museum in Riverside.

Following the passage of the bill, Rep. Calvert issued the following statement:

"Establishing the Distinguished Flying Cross National Memorial in Riverside continues our country's proud tradition of honoring our soldiers. Distinguished Flying Cross recipients have received this prestigious medal for their heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight while serving in any capacity with the U.S. Armed Forces. The designation of the memorial at March Field Air Museum as a national memorial will ensure that these brave American heroes, their families, and all admirers of the Distinguished Flying Cross, will have a place to remember, honor, and pay tribute. I am hopeful that the Senate will pass the Distinguished Flying Cross National Memorial Act in the very near future."
