Referred to the Committee on Armed Services. (text: CR S1674)
This is a Senate resolution honoring three Ohio Air National Guard airmen—Captain Seth R. Koval, Captain Curtis J. Angst, and Master Sergeant Tyler H. Simmons—who were killed along with three other service members in a Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker crash in Iraq on March 12, 2026, during Operation Epic Fury. The resolution pays tribute to these members of the 121st Air Refueling Wing, recognizing the extreme difficulty and danger of mid-air refueling missions, where crews transfer thousands of pounds of fuel to other aircraft while flying. The Senate expresses its condolences to the families and fellow servicemembers of the deceased airmen and acknowledges the critical role that air tanker crews play in supporting U.S. military operations worldwide. This resolution is ceremonial in nature and carries no funding requirements or programmatic changes—it serves solely to memorialize the service and sacrifice of these fallen airmen and affirm the nation's gratitude for their dedication.
