Rep. Calvert Praises Inclusion of Distinguished Flying Cross National Memorial Act in FY15 NDAA

Today, Rep. Ken Calvert (CA-42) lauded the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness for including his legislation, the Distinguished Flying Cross National Memorial Act (H.R. 330), in the Readiness Subcommittee mark of the FY2015 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

"Riverside County plays an important role in honoring our military heroes and the establishment of the Distinguished Flying Cross National Memorial will continue that legacy," said Rep. Calvert. "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."

Rep. Calvert introduced the Distinguished Flying Cross National Memorial Act on January 22, 2013. The language in the NDAA can be found on page 25 of the mark athttp://docs.house.gov/meetings/AS/AS03/20140501/102131/BILLS-113HR4435ih.pdf
