Memorial Day is an opportunity for us to honor those who paid the ultimate price for our freedoms.

As we mark Memorial Day, we are proud to honor their memories and restate our commitment to supporting servicemembers and military families.
Following the near-miss incident at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) in 2017 when an arriving Air Canada flight came dangerously close to landing on a taxiway occupied by four aircraft loaded with more than 1,000 passengers, I spent two years researching aviation and near-miss incidents in consultation with experts in the field in order to author the Safe Landings Act and other important aviation innovation measures to protect the flying public and ensure the United States remains a global leader in aviation.
