Honoring Texas National Guard Units for Flood Response

It is with immense pride that I spoke on the U.S. House Floor to honor San Angelo native and Commander of the 449th Aviation Support Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Jordan Boyd, and two extraordinary Texas National Guard units, the 108th Assault Helicopter Battalion in Austin and the 149th General Support Helicopter Battalion in San Antonio. 

As floodwaters devastated Central and West Texas, these heroes did not hesitate to jump into action. They pushed themselves to every imaginable limit, flying through adverse weather to reach Camp Mystic and the entire Guadalupe River to help. Their daring efforts helped save 366 lives.
