                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. STEPHEN LEE FINCHER

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 21, 2016

  Mr. FINCHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of the life of U.S. 
Air Force Captain James Arch Foulks Jr. and his service as a B-29 pilot 
in the 372nd Bomber Squadron. On Friday, June 17, 2016, surrounded by 
his family, Captain Foulks was presented with nothing less than full 
military honors and a customary fly-over in Arlington Cemetery.
   A native of Union City, Tennessee, Captain Foulks made the ultimate 
sacrifice for our freedom on October 23, 1951 during the Korean War, 
when his plane was shot down near the Yellow Sea. Though some of his 
crew survived, including a handful of Prisoners of War, he and others 
on his crew were listed as Missing in Action.
   I sincerely express my gratitude to Captain James Foulks for his 
service and his membership in the ranks of those who have sacrificed 
their lives in the name of freedom.
