U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, released the following statement today on the Navys determination to award the Purple Heart Medal to the four U.S. Marines and one sailor who were killed in the terrorist attack at the Navy Operational Support Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee:\r\nI appreciate the Navys decision to award the Purple Heart Medal to the four U.S. Marines and one sailor who were tragically killed in the terrorist attack in Chattanooga. The Director of FBI, the NCIS and the president have all said that this attack was clearly an act of terrorism, and Congress gave the services the authority to present this award to all those killed or wounded under such circumstances. While we can never truly repay the sacrifice of these brave service members, this determination will ensure that our nation provides the five heroes killed in Chattanooga and their family members the recognition they deserve, while ensuring their heroic service is always remembered.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://www.mccain.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ContentRecord_id=2efcf3de-c0ac-4549-a6f4-a2e3b438d78d"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.646026037633419, "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"}
