Imperial Valley News: Senator Boxer Testifies on Legislation to Designate Distinguished Flying Cross National Memorial in Riverside
U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) testified today at a hearing of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Subcommittee on National Parks on her Distinguished Flying Cross National Memorial Act, which would designate the Distinguished Flying Cross Memorial at the March Field Air Museum in Riverside, California, as a national memorial to recognize members of our Armed Forces who have distinguished themselves by heroism in aerial flight.
The legislation is cosponsored by Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Bill Nelson (D-FL). Representatives Ken Calvert (R-CA-42) and Mark Takano (D-CA-41) have introduced companion legislation in the House. The House overwhelmingly passed the measure in the previous two Congresses. Senator Boxer introduced the measure in both the 111th and 112th Congresses, but it has not been voted on by the Senate.
