Not a day goes by that her absence isn\u2019t felt by those who had the honor of knowing her and many more who didn\u2019t but remain deeply grateful for the sacrifices she made.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe awarding of the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest award that Congress can bestow, is the least we can do to honor all Sergeant Rosario Pichardo did to save the lives of countless Americans and Afghan allies. It will serve as a reminder of the life of service she lived and the obligation each of us shares to carry on her legacy each day.\u201d\n\n\u201cI\u2019m grateful to my colleagues on both sides of the aisle who were instrumental in passing this legislation and to President Biden for signing it into law. Sergeant Rosario Pichardo\u2019s sacrifice will never \u2013 and must never \u2013 be forgotten.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-04-06T14:24:52Z", "2026-04-06T15:54:06Z"]], "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://trahan.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2332"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7660700939595699, "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"}
