There is a slogan I cannot remember entirely that is associated with the Post Office, ``through rain or snow or sleet,'' to describe just how constant is that service. Well, that describes how these men were remembered as unfailing men of the Postal Service. The renaming that we bring forward today is freighted with meaning, most obviously because it is so richly deserved, but the timing of this bill imports far deeper meaning. Hundreds of workers are preparing themselves psychologically to reenter that facility where two of their friends and colleagues died. May they find the reentry easier as they come no longer to the Brentwood Postal Facility, but to the Joseph Curseen, Jr. and Thomas Morris, Jr. Processing and Distribution Center. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
