McCaul statement on U.S. Military helicopter crash in Afghanistan

August 8, 2011

"My prayers are with the families of our military killed in action when they were shot down over Afghanistan this weekend. Our nation's loss hits close to home as one of our fallen was CPO Stephen Matthew Mills of Bastrop, just outside my district. CPO Mills was a member of the Navy SEALs, a husband and a father. The courage displayed by CPO Mills and his fellow SEALs is inspiring. We honor their ultimate sacrifice for the cause of freedom. Please keep the families of all of these brave men and women in your prayers."
