“My bill, H.R. 6073, honors the life of Sergeant Christopher Fitzgerald, a constituent who was tragically killed in the line of duty on February 19, 2023. My bill designates the postal facility at 9925 Bustleton Avenue in Philadelphia as the Sergeant Christopher David Fitzgerald Post Office Building. Sergeant Fitzgerald began his service at Temple University as a police officer in October 2021. Before that, he served with the Philadelphia County Sheriff's Office for 2\1/2\ years. He had also served with the Sugar Land Police Department in Texas and as a Lehigh County corrections officer. Sergeant Fitzgerald dedicated his life to working in law enforcement and protecting the people of Philadelphia. He was a valued member of the Temple University community and was passionate about serving our city. He was also a dedicated father, husband, son, brother, and devout Philadelphia sports fan. He is survived by his wife, Marissa; their four children: Giselle, Julian, Armani, and Autumn; as well as his mother, father, sister, and brother. Sergeant Fitzgerald's commitment to serving the public was absolute, and he took great pride in his work protecting the Temple University community and the city of Philadelphia. His conduct and his life, frankly, provide an extraordinary example of a life served in commitment to service to others. The post office will serve as a small but important symbol of our eternal thanks.…”
