Senate Passes Rep. Calvert’s Distinguished Flying Cross National Memorial Act

Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) praised the Senate for passing his legislation, H.R. 330, the Distinguished Flying Cross National Memorial Act.

"I am delighted to hear that the Senate has approved the Distinguished Flying Cross National Memorial Act," said. Rep. Calvert. "For many years now I have been working with Riverside County veterans and the Distinguished Flying Cross Society to establish a memorial for recipients of the Distinguished Flying Cross, so it is exciting to be on the doorstep of making that happen. The memorial at the March Field Air Museum will serve as a place to pay tribute to the heroism and bravery of Distinguished Flying Cross recipients for all Americans."

Rep. Calvert and Senator Boxer (D-CA) introduced their respective bills, the Distinguished Flying Cross National Memorial Act, on January 22, 2013. The bill was approved by the House of Representatives on October 29, 2013 by voice vote. The bill now goes to the White House for the President's signature.
