                        TWO EXAMPLES OF BRAVERY

  (Mr. HOLDEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HOLDEN. Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I rise today 
to pay my respects to two servicemen from my district who were recently 
killed in military training accidents. Two brave men, Marine Capt. 
David Holley, and Army CWO Walter Fox, were involved in aircraft 
crashes. Both of these men grew up in my district, Captain Holley in 
Pottsville and Chief Fox in Barnesville. Both had outstanding military 
records and gave their lives in service to this country.
  Captain Holley was a member of the 533d Marine All-weather Attack 
Fighter Squadron and is presumed dead after his F-18 went down over the 
Atlantic Ocean. His father, Dave Holley, and mother Darly are good 
friends of mine. Captain Holley was an outstanding young man, and his 
loss is a true tragedy.
  Chief Warrant Officer Fox was a member of the 160th Special 
Operations Air Regiment and was killed when his MH-47E Chinook 
helicopter crashed in Kentucky last week. He was a veteran of Operation 
Desert Storm and had a distinguished service record.
  On behalf of the people of the Sixth District of Pennsylvania, I want 
to honor both Captain Holley and Chief Fox and let their families know 
that our thoughts and best wishes are with them. Chief Warrant Officer 
Fox and Captain Holley were great Americans, and their lives and 
sacrifices will not be forgotten.
