“I rise in support of H.R. 2910, to designate a post office in honor of my friend and distinguished colleague, the late Norman Sisisky. President John F. Kennedy once said: "A Nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers." While the news of Norman's death was met by great sadness by all of those who knew him, the legacy of his life and his accomplishments are to be acknowledged, revered and celebrated. I knew Norman for almost 25 years. For 5 of those years, we served together in the Virginia House of Delegates. We served together here in the House of Representatives for over 8 years. During that time, I had the honor to represent a district adjacent to his in southeast Virginia. The proximity of our districts allowed us to work side by side on many issues; and as a result, we became close, and our staffs in Washington and our district offices also became close associates. The Fourth Congressional District, all of Virginia, the entire Nation, were all well served by Norman's leadership on the House Committee on Armed Services.”
