Mr. DONALDS. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of this bill which names a Melrose, Florida, post office for Pamela Jane Rock.

Pamela Jane, a native Floridian, attended the University of Florida where she studied nutrition and dietetics and was a proud member of the Gator Marching Band.

Pam remained a Florida Gator fan for the rest of her life and loved going to Florida football games with her family.

In January of 2022, Pam became a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service in Gainesville, Florida. In August of 2022, Pam was attacked by dogs while delivering mail. She later died because of injuries she sustained in the attack.
