U.S. Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) commended the president for signing into law his bipartisan, bicameral bill to name a ridge near Montana’s Emigrant Peak the B-47 Ridge, honoring four U.S. servicemen who died there in a B-47 Bomber crash almost 60 years ago. “I want to thank President Trump for signing this historic bill into law,” Sen. Daines said on Oct. 13. “I look forward to visiting the B-47 Ridge in the future to remember the men we lost that day.” On July 23, 1962, a B-47 Bomber originating from Dyess Air Force Base in Texas carrying four men on
