Our telephone town hall will begin momentarily. Please hold while we connect you to your Access Live event. This Access Live event is currently in progress. Please note that this call may be monitored, recorded or rebroadcast. In your community tour. As you know, each year I visit all ██ counties in ██████████████████████████████████ to hear about the issues impacting you and your families. While I'm stuck in ██████████ this week, I thought it was important to convene this telephone town hall meeting. In addition to the numerous in person events that we hold throughout the year. This virtual town hall is an opportunity for me to share updates on my work in Congress and get your questions answered. That's why we have assembled an outstanding group of experts to help us understand what's going on. Before we begin, I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge the three service members from ███████ who tragically lost their lives last week when a fueling plane crashed in ████. Those service members are Major ███████████. Captain ██████████████. Sergeant █████████████. All three were stationed at the 99th Air Refueling Squadron in ███████████████████, before being deployed to support the ██ military operations in ████. My heart truly goes out to their families as they endure this unimaginable loss. We will never forget the sacrifices they made for our nation. Please join me in a moment of silence. To honor their memories. As well as attend other service members who have been lost in connection with this conflict in ████. Thank you. With that, I'd like to have our pastor lead us in an opening prayer. Joining us tonight is Reverend ████████████ of Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church in ███████████. Reverend █████, please lead us in an opening prayer. Let us pray. Father, we come before your throne of grace and kindness. Father, we are first of all thankful for that eternal gift that you've given us through your son, ████████████████. But we also thank you tonight for bringing our Congress lady back into the congressional district, Father, to hear concerns for impartation so that we would leave this place better than we arrived. We want to lift up those service members, families, Father, that have lost their lives. We pray for comfort and peace for them. We realize we're living in challenging times, Father. What? We realize that you still sit on the throne. We pray for good government. We pray that you will continue to be with our Congress lady. And she's there to represent us. But we also lift up the other branches of government, Father, because clarity is needed, and we certainly need you at these trying times. We give your name, all the praise. We pray tonight that everything that will be done will be done decent and in order. And Father, at the end of the day, we'll continue to give you praise. It's in Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. As a reminder, you Can Press Star 3 at any time during tonight's call.
