Deputy Donald William Durr, Corporal Zach Moak, and Patrolman James White Memorial Post Office Building

Floor Speech

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 2246, which would name a Mississippi post office after three brave citizens who died in the line of duty.

Donald William Durr was a deputy in the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department when he was killed in the line of duty. Just prior to his passing, he had completed training to become a DARE officer and educator. He was also a talented musician and ventriloquist who enjoyed spending time with his family.

James White had only briefly been employed with the Brookhaven Police Department when he died in 2018. He had previously been employed with the Lawrence County Sheriff's Department, and before that, he was a soldier in the Army National Guard and served our country in Operation Iraqi Freedom, receiving a Purple Heart.

Zach Moak was a patrolman with the Brookhaven Police Department. He had previously worked for Wesson and the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department. In his free time, he loved to spend time with his family and help out in his community.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
