U.S. Rep. French Hill visited Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, Oct. 24, 2024, to present 19th Civil Engineer Squadron Explosive Ordnance Disposal members with the Congressional Records related to a recent speech he gave.

“I was proud to meet with the Airmen during my recent visit to Little Rock Air Force Base and thank them for their bravery during this instance,” Hill said. “It was truly impressive, my hats off to these brave Airmen from Team Little Rock and all of Arkansas is proud for their efforts and service to our country.”
