They went to the Moon. Tonight, they come home. 🌑 Tonight, Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen splash down in the Pacific and return home after traveling farther from Earth than any humans in history. Their portraits will shine on our Embassy walls through the end of April as we continue to celebrate the historic Artemis II mission.
Nothing but gratitude for the men and women of this great nation. It is time to fly.
Action. Wonder. Adventure. Artemis II has got it all. Don't miss the moment. Our crewed Moon mission will launch as early as April 1. Learn how to watch: nasa.gov/ways-to-watch/
I am on my way to LaGuardia Airport now in response to last night’s horrific crash involving Air Canada Express 8646 and a fire truck that killed two pilots. @FAANews and @NTSB are working closely on this, and we will share updates as soon as possible. Please keep the victims, families and response teams in your prayers.
The Coast Guard mourns the passing, and honors the courage, of Aviation Survival Technician (AST) Tyler Jaggers. On February 27, he was critically injured during a medical evacuation mission offshore from Cape Flattery, Washington, and later succumbed to his injuries and passed away at Madigan Army Medical Center. Prior to his passing, he was meritoriously advanced to AST2 for his relentless drive in qualifications, the mentorship he consistently provided to swimmer candidates, and his exceptional performance across operational missions. Additionally, the Commandant of the Coast Guard awarded him the Distinguished Flying Cross – one of our Nation’s highest awards for heroism in aerial flight. Through his selfless service and sacrifice, AST2 Jaggers exemplified the finest legacies of Coast Guard service, and the sacred oath of the Aviation Rescue Swimmer community: "So Others May Live". #USCG #SoOthersMayLive @DHSgov @USCGPACAREA @USCGNorthwest
The United States joins the people of British Columbia and the rest of Canada in mourning the tragic loss of lives in Tumbler Ridge. Our deepest sympathy to the victims, families, and community. Our thoughts and prayers for a speedy and full recovery to all those who were injured or are otherwise suffering. The Consulate will join the Legislative Assembly in a moment of silence today at noon.
Alberta is heartbroken at the loss of three young hockey players, JJ Wright, Cameron Casorso and Caden Fine, who tragically lost their lives while travelling to practice with the Southern Alberta Mustangs junior hockey club. My deepest condolences are with their families, teammates, coaches, billet families and the entire community of Stavely and surrounding area as they grieve this unimaginable loss. The whole Alberta hockey family is standing with you in sorrow and in prayer. Thank you as well to the first responders and medical teams who rushed to help. In the days ahead, I know Albertans will wrap these families and this team in love and support as they navigate a pain no one should ever have to bear.
