The bill honors the crew of Zeus 95, who died on March 12, 2026, while supporting Operation Epic Fury against Iran, including Captain Ariana Savino of Covington, Washington.\n\nThe bill honors six servicemembers: Maj. John A. Klinner, 33, of Auburn, AL; Capt. Ariana G. Savino, 31, of Covington, WA; Tech. Sgt. Ashley B. Pruitt, 34, of Bardstown, KY; Capt. Seth R. Koval, 38, of Mooresville, IN; Capt. Curtis J. Angst, 30, of Wilmington, OH; and Tech. Sgt. Tyler H. Simmons, 28, of Columbus, OH.\n\nThe Zeus 95 Memorial Act would establish a monument in or near Arlington National Cemetery in honor of the fallen crewmembers.\n\n\u201cI remain heartbroken that the crew of Zeus 95, including Captain Savino of Covington, died last spring in flight operations over Iraq. I will continue my efforts to honor their bravery and sacrifice, and am profoundly grateful that these crewmembers chose a life of service to our nation,\u201d said Congresswoman Schrier. \u201cCaptain Savino\u2019s passion, leadership, and bravery will be forever remembered by the people of Washington state and all Americans. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of Captain Savino and the entire Zeus 95 crew. I send my deepest condolences to them, and pray for the safety and health of all of our servicemembers.\u201d\n\n\u201cCaptain Ariana G. Savino represents the absolute best of Washington state and our country. I will forever be grateful for her bravery and sacrifice,\u201d said Senator Murray. \u201cCapt. Savino and the other five courageous Air Force Airmen put their lives on the line to keep our country safe\u2014they should be honored. My thoughts are with the families who lost loved ones in this tragic incident\u2014Congress should pass this bill immediately to establish this memorial. We have a commitment to honor our servicemembers not only with words but by supporting the families they leave behind\u2014making sure the federal government is there for our military families will continue to be a top priority for me. To the families, friends, and fellow Airmen who loved the Zeus 95 crew, you have my most sincere condolences.\u201d\n\n\u201cCaptain Savino and the five heroes of ZEUS 95 gave everything in service to our country. A memorial at Arlington National Cemetery will ensure their courage and sacrifice are never forgotten,\u201d said Senator Cantwell.\n\nCaptain Ariana Savino, 31, was a graduate of the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps program at Central Washington University. Captain Savino earned her active-duty commission in 2017 and was promoted to captain in 2021. She served at bases in Georgia and Mississippi, logging over 300 combat flight hours.\n\nCaptain Savino sought to inspire others, particularly women and young people pursuing aviation careers, and is remembered as a passionate captain, advocate, and community member.\n\nThe bill is also cosponsored by Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01), Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland (WA-10), and Congressman Michael Baumgartner (WA-05).\n\n###", 1, "2026-09-25T10:04:52Z", "2026-09-25T10:05:46Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://schrier.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-schrier-senators-murray-and-cantwell-introduce-bill-honor"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.426534028723836, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
