I rise in support of S. 1591, legislation I have worked on with our Senator, Senator Schumer, to name the United States Postal Service facility at 48 South Broadway in Nyack, New York, in my district, after three heroes: Nyack Police Officers Edward O'Grady and Waverly Brown, and Brinks Guard Peter Paige. I am proud to have introduced H.R. 3167, the House version of this bill, that has the support of the entire 29-member New York State delegation in the House. It is a true testament to those three brave men who helped prevent the deaths of countless others 22 years ago today when an armed gang attempted to rob a Brinks armored truck in the middle of the day at a crowded mall with no regard for the lives that would fall in their wake. The naming of this Federal building will serve as a living memorial to these fine men who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving their community.
