AL HR234

The House of Representatives honors the Aeolians, the Oakwood University choir from Huntsville, for heroic and compassionate actions during a tragic multi-vehicle accident.

The choir's bus was involved in a fiery crash while traveling to San Francisco; members attempted to help survivors, including the father of 15-year-old Iyanna Bishop.

After the accident, the Aeolians visited Iyanna in the hospital and sang for her, providing comfort during her recovery and allowing her to feel her deceased father's presence.

The resolution commends the choir members as role models and exemplars of heroic character, selflessness, and strong moral principles.

A copy of the resolution will be presented to the Aeolians Choir in recognition of their compassionate response to the tragic accident.
