It is my honor today to rise in support of H.R. 5873 to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 218 North Milwaukee Street in Waterford, Wisconsin, as the Captain Rhett W. Schiller Post Office. Mr. Speaker, it is altogether fitting and proper that we name this post office in Waterford for Captain Schiller to honor a true American hero and his service to our country. Captain Rhett W. Schiller was born on November 7, 1980 in Racine, Wisconsin. Upon graduation from high school in 1999, Captain Schiller was appointed to the United States Military Academy at West Point by my distinguished colleague from Wisconsin (Mr. Ryan). Captain Schiller graduated from West Point in 2003 with a major in Chinese and was then commissioned as an infantry officer. He was assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. In September of 2005, after Hurricane Katrina devastated the gulf coast, Captain Schiller and his unit were deployed to New Orleans to come to the aid of millions along the gulf coast, including the citizens of the district that I represent.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 5569 to focus attention on an important issue that has left our constituents financially and economically vulnerable. The National Flood Insurance Program, NFIP, has lapsed for the third time…
When you deprive people their rights to live in dignity, to hope for a better future, to have control over their lives--when you deprive them of that choice, then you expect them to fight for these rights.
Staying faithful to the principles that make our nation great, we will fight for the rights of those who do not have a voice.
We ask that this House and this administration will heed the voice of the oppressed around the world, particularly those of the people of Vietnam.
