CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Honoring the 19 United States servicemen who died in the terrorist
bombing of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia on June 25, 1996.
Whereas June 25, 2001, marks the fifth anniversary of the tragic terrorist
bombing of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia;
Whereas this act of senseless violence took the lives of 19 brave United States
servicemen, and wounded 500 others;
Whereas these nineteen men killed while serving their country were Captain
Christopher Adams, Sergeant Daniel Cafourek, Sergeant Millard Campbell,
Sergeant Earl Cartrette, Jr., Sergeant Patrick Fennig, Captain Leland
Haun, Sergeant Michael Heiser, Sergeant Kevin Johnson, Sergeant Ronald
King, Sergeant Kendall Kitson, Jr., Airman First Class Christopher
Lester, Airman First Class Brent Marthaler, Airman First Class Brian
McVeigh, Airman First Class Peter Morgera, Sergeant Thanh Nguyen, Airman
First Class Joseph Rimkus, Senior Airman Jeremy Taylor, Airman First
Class Justin Wood, and Airman First Class Joshua Woody;
Whereas those guilty of this attack have yet to be brought to justice;
Whereas the families of these brave servicemen still mourn their loss and await
the day when those guilty of this act are brought to justice; and
Whereas terrorism remains a constant and ever-present threat around the world:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That the Congress, on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the
terrorist bombing of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, recognizes the
sacrifice of the 19 servicemen who died in that attack, and calls upon
every American to pause and pay tribute to these brave soldiers and to
remain ever vigilant for signs which may warn of a terrorist attack.
