On the recordDecember 8, 2014
Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 5794, introduced by Representative Ann Wagner of Missouri, to designate the post office located at 16105 Swingley Ridge Road in Chesterfield, Missouri, as the Sgt. Zachary M. Fisher Post Office. Army Sergeant Zachary Fisher, a native of Ballwin, Missouri, was killed on July 14, 2010, at Forward Operating Base Lagman in Afghanistan. He died of wounds sustained when insurgents attacked his vehicle and detonated an improvised explosive device. Sergeant Fisher was only 24 years old. Mr. Speaker, Sergeant Fisher was a brave young man. He decided to join the Army Reserve, and then courageously volunteered to become a member of the Active Duty military. Sergeant Fisher chose to put himself in harm's way in order to protect the freedoms that we, as Americans, enjoy every day. We owe him a great debt of gratitude for making the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf. I ask my colleagues to honor and memorialize Zachary M. Fisher's service by supporting H.R. 5794. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
