(Click picture for video) Rep. Hultgren delivered the following prepared remarks: I rise today to honor Chief Warrant Officer 2 Kevin Mose Weiss of McHenry County, a U.S. Army helicopter pilot who lost his life in service to our nation. Returning to duty just after Thanksgiving, Weiss and his co-pilot were flying a routine training exercise out of Fort Campbell in Kentucky on December 2nd when the helicopter they were piloting went down, killing both men in the crash. Weiss dreamed of joining his WWII veteran grandfather in flying as a pilot for his country, and was known by his grandfathers nickname, Mose. Weiss was an avid outdoorsman and served our nation overseas, flying a tour of duty in Afghanistan and earning numerous commendations and decorations. Growing up through McHenry public schools, homeschooling, and then Christian Liberty Academy, Weiss met his wife, Beth, through the youth program, Awana. Weiss leaves behind his wife and two children, Lucas and Susan, and extended family and friends. They remember him as brave from a young age, a shoulder to lean on in difficult times, and a caring and loving brother, husband and father. The family Christmas celebration will be muted this year, but we are forever grateful for Moses service and sacrifice. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
