  COMMEMORATING 507TH MAINTENANCE GROUP AND 11TH AIR DEFENSE ARTILLERY

  (Mrs. JONES of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. JONES of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I would ask that all of my 
colleagues in the House join me for a moment of silence as we 
commemorate the young men and women of the 507th Maintenance Group and 
the 11th Air Defense Artillery.
  One of my constituents, Brandon Sloan, is among those groups of young 
people. He is a graduate of Bedford High School. His father is Reverend 
Thandie Sloan, his mother Michelle. His father is a minister at Greater 
Friendship Baptist Church in my congressional district.
  I ask that my colleagues join me in two moments of silence at the end 
of this statement as we pray for these families and the safe return of 
those young men and women.
