Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 9580) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 2777 Brentwood Road in Raleigh, North Carolina, as the ``Millie Dunn Veasey Post Office''.

The Clerk read the title of the bill.

The text of the bill is as follows: H.R. 9580

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. MILLIE DUNN VEASEY POST OFFICE.

(a) Designation.--The facility of the United States Postal Service located at 2777 Brentwood Road in Raleigh, North Carolina, shall be known and designated as the ``Millie Dunn Veasey Post Office''.

(b) References.--Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the United States to the facility referred to in subsection (a) shall be deemed to be a reference to the ``Millie Dunn Veasey Post Office''.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this bill which would rename a post office in North Carolina after Millie Dunn Veasey.

Committed to serving her Nation, Ms. Veasey joined the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps following the entrance of the United States into World War II.

Ms. Veasey passed away on March 9, 2018, at the age of 100 after a long life of civil and Federal service.

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

Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to support this legislation to honor veteran and activist Millie Dunn Veasey, and I yield back the balance of my time.
