“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 5738, introduced by the gentlelady from Michigan (Mrs. Miller), would designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 15285 Samohin Drive in Macomb, Michigan, as the Lance Cpl. Anthony A. DiLisio Clinton-Macomb Carrier Annex. The bill is cosponsored by the entire Michigan State delegation and was favorably reported by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on September 20. Mr. Speaker, it is altogether fitting and proper that we name this post office in Macomb, Michigan, for Marine Corps Lance Corporal DiLisio, a selfless patriot who made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan at just 20 years of age. Lance Corporal DiLisio was shot and killed by enemy fighters during a patrol he had volunteered for. Mr. Speaker, Lance Corporal DiLisio and all of our brave and courageous fighting men and women are true heroes. And I'm thankful to have this opportunity to stand before this Chamber and express my sincere gratitude for all that our servicemembers do and all that they sacrifice each and every day. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in strong support of this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
