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

Today Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA) lauded the House Armed Services Committee for including his legislation, the Distinguished Flying Cross National Memorial Act (H.R. 330), in the Readiness Subcommittee mark of the FY2014 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

"For many years I have been working to appropriately honor the recipients of the Distinguished Flying Cross," 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 24 of the mark, which is located HERE.
