They\u2019re ready to respond at any time to serious threats anywhere in the world. And they ground their service in two principles \u2013 never quit and never surrender.\n\n\u201cNight Stalkers live, breathe, and \u2013 tragically \u2013 often die by a creed which reads: \u2018I serve with the memory and pride of those who have gone before me, for they loved to fight, fought to win, and would rather die than quit.\u2019\n\n\u201cThis weekend, five brave men honored their creed. Their memory will live on, carried by Night Stalkers who continue to profess it, and by every American who mourns their loss.\n\n\u201cThis tragedy is a stark reminder of the incredible dangers our men and women in uniform face, and of the debt we owe them.\n\n\u201cToday, I join our nation in grieving these fallen warriors, and I extend my prayers to their families, children, and comrades.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:49:58Z"]], "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.mcconnell.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ID=EAA57678-9CDA-42E2-B7AF-99A77B1BC7A0"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6710740271955729, "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"}
