Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives today to remember and honor Captain Dustin Lukasiewicz of Alma who was killed in a helicopter crash last week while providing humanitarian aid to earthquake victims in Nepal.
Remarks as prepared:
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of a Third District constituent, Captain Dustin Lukasiewicz of Alma, Nebraska.
He and five fellow Marines were killed in a helicopter crash last week while providing humanitarian aid to earthquake victims in Nepal.
Captain Lukasiewicz made the ultimate sacrifice while trying to assist victims no one else could reach.
His service reflects the goodness of America, accepting the call to help those who need it most.
When I spoke with the Captain’s mother yesterday, she told me how her son went out of his way to give her a call on Mother’s Day, just days before the crash.
His attention to his loved ones is a reflection of his life of service, devoting himself to the care of others.
Please join me in praying for the Captain’s mother, father, wife, daughter, unborn child, and all others who lost loved ones in this tragedy.
As Memorial Day approaches, we must make it our top priority to honor and remember our military heroes.
Captain Lukasiewicz is certainly one of our heroes.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I yield back..
