With great sadness, we graciously ask you to comfort the loved ones of those who answered the call of duty.
They made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of our nation and in the cause of liberty and justice.
With a gratitude that can never equal their valor we recall the brave service of these fallen soldiers: Army Reserve Captain Russell Seager, Marine Lance Corporal Jacob Meinert, Wisconsin Army National Guard Sergeant Ryan Adams.
We pause now to commend them to you.
Bless them with final peace and endless joy.
In the name of all that is holy, we pray.
Amen."
The Senate remained standing and Senator Taylor led the Senate in the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.
