On the recordJuly 14, 2014
I am very pleased to join my colleagues in the consideration of H.R. 3534, a bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 113 West Michigan Avenue in Jackson, Michigan, as the Officer James Bonneau Memorial Post Office. James Bonneau was a native of Canton, Michigan. He graduated with a degree in criminal justice from Eastern Michigan University in 2006. James graduated at the top of his class from Lansing Community College's Mid-Michigan Police Academy and subsequently joined the Jackson Police Department. On March 9, 2010, Officer Bonneau was following up on a domestic disturbance call when he was tragically shot and killed. Bonneau is survived by his parents, Marc and Amy Bonneau, as well as his fiancee, Rachael Maloney. Passing this bill will help recognize Officer Bonneau's police service as well as his dedication and commitment to his family, the police department, and his community. I urge all of my colleagues to vote in favor of this legislation. With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
