Whereas on December 17, 1994, the helicopter of Army Chief Warrant Officer David 
        Hilemon and Army Chief Warrant Officer Bobby W. Hall II was shot down 
        over North Korea;
Whereas as a result of this incident, Chief Warrant Officer Hilemon sacrificed

        captive by the Korean People's Army;
Whereas on December 22, 1994, Chief Warrant Officer Hilemon's remains were 
        returned to the United States at the Demilitarized Zone at Panmunjom and 
        on December 28, 1994, he was laid to rest with full military honors and 
        in full view of Mt. Ranier in the State of Washington, in accordance 
        with the wishes of Chief Warrant Officer Hilemon; and
Whereas Chief Warrant Officer Hall, held in captivity for 13 days under 
        stressful circumstances, served his country above and beyond the call of 
        duty: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress--
            (1) recognizes the sacrifice of Army Chief Warrant Officer 
        David Hilemon to his country and expresses gratitude for his 
        selflessness and deepest regret for his loss to his family; and
            (2) recognizes the exceptional service of Army Chief 
        Warrant Officer Bobby W. Hall II to his country and expresses 
        commendation for his courage.
