Congressman McCarthy released the following statement:
“The opening of these facilities at NAWS China Lake marks continued progress in the robust repair and construction efforts following the summer earthquakes of 2019, and I am proud to have collaborated with the Navy to improve the quality of life of our servicemembers, civilians, and their families. I congratulate Captain Jeremy Vaughan, Captain Ben Wainwright, Chaplain David Brainard, and the countless individuals involved in both of these projects for their steadfast determination; these facilities will undoubtedly benefit those who support the mission at China Lake for years to come."
Background:
