Womack responds to deaths of local servicemen WASHINGTON, DC— Congressman Steve Womack released the below statement regarding the deaths of Navy SEAL Tommy Ratzlaff of Green Forest and USAF Tech SGT. John W. Brown of Siloam Springs. Both men were part of the 22 man Navy SEAL team that was shot down over the weekend. In all, 30 U.S. service members were killed.

“America lost 30 irreplaceable service members on Saturday when insurgents shot down a Chinook helicopter over Afghanistan. Among those lost were two Arkansans—John Brown of Siloam Springs and Tommy Ratzlaff of Green Forest.

“My heart breaks for the families of these brave service members. I’ve found over time that words do little to ease the minds of those mourning the loss of a loved one. But I will say this—these are a unique breed of people that would put themselves in harm’s way to defend our flag, country, and freedom. For that I cannot thank them enough. My thoughts and prayers are with you.”
