“Second Lieutenant Patrick Palmer Calhoun was born on March 19, 1941, and raised in Mount Vernon, Georgia. He graduated from the University of Georgia and enlisted in the U.S. Army in the middle of the Vietnam war. While stationed in South Vietnam, Second Lieutenant Calhoun served heroically for his country as a rotary wing aviation unit commander. On April 19, 1965, his helicopter was shot down by enemy fire in the Pleiku Province. He was later declared killed while missing in action at the tender age of 24. I encourage my colleagues to join us in honoring the life of Second Lieutenant Calhoun by naming a post office in Mount Vernon, Georgia, after him. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.”
