Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I want to begin by commending my colleague from the First Congressional District of Rhode Island, Mr. Cicilline, for sponsoring this bill in the first place. Mr. Speaker, I rise…

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. I am honored to stand before you today to pay tribute to the life and service of a true American hero, First Sergeant P. Andrew McKenna, by naming the Bristol Post Office in his honor. A…
