H.Res. 765 is a commemorative resolution recognizing the 10-year anniversary of the TORQE 62 crash on October 2, 2015, in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, in which a C-130J Super Hercules military transport aircraft crashed during departure, killing 11 people—six U.S. Air Force service members and five civilian contractors who were supporting Operation Freedom's Sentinel. The resolution honors the specific airmen who died, including Captain Jonathan Golden, Captain Jordan Pierson, and four enlisted personnel, ranging in age from 21 to 33. This is purely a ceremonial measure with no funding or policy changes; it expresses the House's condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed and acknowledges the ongoing legacy of the crew through military remembrance ceremonies and commemorative events. The resolution affirms recognition of the daily risks faced by military personnel and civilian contractors serving overseas.
