BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

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

I rise in support of this bill, which would name a post office in Wilson, North Carolina, for veteran Milton Fitch, Sr.

Mr. Fitch served in the U.S. Army for nearly 5 years during World War II. He earned several medals and three battle stars and contributed to the success of the Red Ball Express, a convoy system that delivered supplies to Allied troops on the European warfront.

After the war, Mr. Fitzgerald's journey of resiliency and determination continued. He became the first African-American letter carrier in the city of Wilson, North Carolina, since Reconstruction. This was a significant achievement.

I support naming the post office in memory of Milton Fitch, Sr., and I encourage my colleagues to do the same. I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. GROTHMAN. Madam Speaker, I encourage my House colleagues to support this bill honoring a great American war veteran and local public servant. I yield back the balance of my time.
