  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Captain Mark 
McDowell of Colorado Springs and the United States Air Force.
  Captain McDowell died in an F-15E crash while providing air support 
to ground troops during Operation Enduring Freedom near Ghazni Province 
in Afghanistan.
  Captain McDowell is survived by his wife and parents. Captain 
McDowell was an honorable and dedicated airman who died serving his 
country. We will never forget his example and his dedication. To his 
family and friends, I offer my sincere thoughts and prayers. May God 
bless them throughout the days ahead.
