                    HONORING CAPTAIN REBECCA LOBACH

  (Mrs. FOUSHEE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. FOUSHEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to pay 
tribute to the life and service of Captain Rebecca Lobach, an 
accomplished U.S. Army aviation officer who was aboard the Black Hawk 
helicopter during the tragic accident at Ronald Reagan Washington 
National Airport.
  A native of Durham, North Carolina, and a distinguished military 
graduate from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Captain 
Lobach excelled in every aspect of her military career.
  From her rigorous flight training to her role as a White House social 
aide, her dedication to excellence, coupled with her remarkable 
leadership skills, earned her the respect and admiration of her peers 
and superiors alike.
  During her service, Captain Lobach was awarded several honors, 
including the Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, National 
Defense Service Medal, and Army Service Ribbon.
  She was a dedicated officer with a bright future, and her service to 
our country will not be forgotten. I offer my deepest condolences to 
Captain Lobach's family and loved ones and to all those affected by 
this devastating national tragedy.
