“Today, I rise in support of my bill, H.R. 3772, which seeks to designate the United States postal facility located at 150 South Union Street in Canton, Mississippi, as the First Sergeant Landres Cheeks Post Office. I introduced this bill to bring recognition to the outstanding works and commitment of Retired First Sergeant Landres Cheeks to both the United States of America and to the city of Canton, Mississippi. I'm pleased to have my colleagues in the Mississippi delegation join me as original cosponsors: Congressmen Harper, Palazzo, and Nunnelee. First, Sergeant Cheeks has been a true patriot of our country and an integral part of his community for more than 60 years. He's dedicated his life, after serving our country for three decades, to giving back to the citizens of Canton. His mission to economically empower, inspire, and motivate the people of Canton has proved him to be an invaluable asset to the community. Sergeant Cheeks served the United States Army Medical Corps for 30 years, participating in Germany and France during World War II and the Vietnam war. He's a decorated serviceman, having received the National Defense Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Army Occupational Medal of Germany, Bronze Star Medal, World War II Victory Medal, American Campaign Medal, and a Good Service Conduct Medal. In 2001, he was awarded the Blue Cross Blue Shield Ageless Hero Award.…”
