Officer Noah Jacob Shahnavaz Post Office Building

Floor Speech

Date: Dec. 4, 2024
Location: Washington, DC


Mr. Speaker, I am rising in support of H.R. 9775 to honor Noah Shahnavaz. Born and raised in Indianapolis, he joined the U.S. Army in 2016 where he was deployed to the Middle East as a sergeant with the 591st Military Police Company.

Officer Shahnavaz transitioned to a new service role in law enforcement by taking a position with the Elwood Police Department in 2021. Tragically, he was killed on duty on July 31, 2022, during a traffic stop.

This bill would honor the life and the great service of Officer Shahnavaz and also recognize the sacrifice of his family by naming a post office in Elwood, Indiana, after him.

Mr. Speaker, I urge passage of the legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Speaker, in closing, I urge passage of this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
