Authorizing the use of the rotunda of the Capitol for the lying in state of the remains of Air Force Major John A. Klinner, Captain Ariana G. Savino, Captain Seth R. Koval, Captain Curtis J. Angst, Technical Sergeant Ashley B. Pruitt, and Technical Sergeant Tyler H. Simmons.
This bill aims to allow the rotunda of the Capitol to be used for the lying in state of the remains of six fallen Air Force members: Major John A. Klinner, Captain Ariana G. Savino, Captain Seth R. Koval, Captain Curtis J. Angst, Technical Sergeant Ashley B. Pruitt, and Technical Sergeant Tyler H. Simmons. This honor is a way to recognize their service and sacrifice.
The bill, if passed, would not directly affect citizens but would provide a significant tribute to these service members and their families. It would also honor their bravery and commitment to the nation. This is a gesture of national respect and gratitude.
The bill was introduced on March 18, 2026, and was immediately referred to the House Committee on House Administration. The next steps include a review by this committee and potential further action by the full House.
