Political Quotes

“I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4877, introduced by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Olson). H.R. 4877 designates the post office located at 3130 Grants Lake Boulevard in Sugar Land, Texas, as the LCpl Garrett W. Gamble, USMC Post Office Building. Lance Corporal Gamble was a determined young man. Before he even graduated high school, he already decided to join the Marines. Less than a year after being deployed in Afghanistan, Gamble was killed when he stepped on an enemy land mine. Mr. Speaker, Garrett Gamble's life was taken far too soon. Naming a post office after him is just a small honor we can give to a man who gave his life for his country. I urge Members to support this bill to name a post office in Gamble's honor. I will soon yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Olson), my colleague and the bill's sponsor, to tell us more about the honorable soldier Lance Corporal Garrett W. Gamble. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.”
