                       Tuesday, October 29, 2024

  Mrs. SYKES. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize Ohio National 
Guard Company B, 3rd Battalion, 238th Aviation Regiment from Green as 
Ohio's 13th Congressional District Champion of the Week.
  Hurricane Helene caused serious flooding and damage across Florida, 
Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Virginia, which left roads 
underwater, basements flooded, wires down, people trapped in their cars 
in flooded areas, and people stranded in their homes.
  Ohio National Guard Company B, 3rd Battalion, 238th Aviation Regiment 
answered the call to assist. These brave men and women navigated 
through flooded North Carolina streets to assist people stranded in 
their homes and cars.
  Ohio's 13th Congressional District is made up of champions who work 
hard and don't hesitate to lend a helping hand to a neighbor in need. 
The unwavering and selfless work of these service members in the wake 
of Hurricane Helene is a shining example of why our district is known 
as the ``Birthplace of Champions.''
  I thank the members of the Ohio National Guard Company B, 3rd 
Battalion, 238th Aviation Regiment for their collaboration, bravery, 
and service in the aftermath of this hurricane, and for dedicating 
their lives each and every day to protect our community and country.
