ND SCR4005

The Sixty-third Legislative Assembly congratulates the establishment of the first North Dakota chapter of Pilots for Christ, International, an international nondenominational aviation ministry.

The chapter is named in honor of Air Force Second Lieutenant John Timothy Rice of Maddock, North Dakota, who graduated from the United States Air Force Academy with honors in May 2010 and was a member of the Academy Flying Team.

Pilots for Christ will provide mercy flights, ambulatory medical flights, missionary transportation, and incentive flights for youth groups free of charge to any needy person through a one hundred percent volunteer organization with no paid staff.

The Secretary of State shall forward an enrolled copy of the resolution to the immediate family of John Timothy Rice and to the North Dakota chapter of Pilots for Christ.
