I support this, and I can't add to the excellent words of my colleague from North Carolina. It is an amazing thing when we are naming post offices to hear about the brave lives--in this case of a very young woman with a bright future who gave her life for her country. So I am delighted to join in Representative Wagner's legislation to make this name permanent so that we can all remember and revere the memory of this brave soldier. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
