Congressmen Fong and Whitesides were joined by Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Members of the California congressional delegation. “These brave Americans dedicated their lives to this nation’s defense, and their sacrifice will never be forgotten,” said Congressman Fong. “Behind each of these heroes is family, friends, and loved ones facing an unimaginable loss. They represent the very best of our community and our country: American’s willing to give everything in defense of the United States of America. We ask our nation to join us in lifting up the Edwards community and everyone grieving this devastating loss. May God grant them strength and peace during this difficult time. May He forever bless the memory of those we lost.” Colonel Gregory Watson Lieutenant Colonel Gabriel Estrella Retired Lieutenant Colonel Miles Middleton Major Alexander Davis Major Robert Dee Major Brad Hovey Jeromy Smith Christopher Rischar	1	2026-06-27T21:44:12Z	2026-06-27T22:11:26Z
