Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 7873, to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 400 Southern Avenue Southeast in Washington, District of Columbia, as the ``District of Columbia Servicemembers and Veterans Post Office.'' Our Nation's veterans enlist knowing full well that they may be injured or killed in service to our country. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, there are almost 30,000 veterans living in the District of Columbia, with just over 22,000 of them being wartime veterans. Unfortunately, these brave individuals fight for a country that does not afford them the same right to representation enjoyed by other Americans. This is an oversight that must be remedied. It is our responsibility to remember and honor their sacrifices. This bill will ensure that their service is never forgotten. I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring the sacrifices of our veterans by naming a post office in the Nation's capital after them. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from the District of Columbia (Ms. Norton), the sponsor of the bill.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 6725) to change the address of the Marilyn Monroe Post Office, and for other purposes.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 6725, to change the address of the Marilyn Monroe Post Office. Ms. Norma Jeane Mortenson, also known as Marilyn Monroe, was born on June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles, California. She was discovered at the local airport, where she worked on the assembly line of Radioplane Company. Ms. Monroe went on to become an iconic actress, model, and one of the most famous and recognizable icons of the 20th century. Her big-screen highlights include ``Some Like It Hot,'' ``The Seven Year Itch,'' ``Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,'' among many others. Ms. Monroe passed away on August 5, 1962, in Brentwood, California. Madam Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to join me in naming a post office after Ms. Marilyn Monroe, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 5949 to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 615 North Bush Street, in Santa Ana, California, as the Judge James Perez Post Office. Judge James Perez was born in Metcalf, Arizona, on April 27, 1926, and was the first Latino judge appointed in Orange County. In July 1932, his family moved to Santa Ana, California, where he attended Santa Ana High School and worked in the tomato fields in southern California until he was drafted into World War II. He proudly served in the U.S. Army Air Corps from 1944 to 1946 as a technical sergeant. Upon returning home, he enrolled in the University of Southern California, where he earned a bachelor's degree in accounting. In 1955, he continued his education, earning a law degree from the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. In December 1966, Governor Pat Brown appointed him to be a judge of the Orange County Municipal Court. Nine years later, Governor Jerry Brown elevated him to the Orange County Superior Court. After serving as a superior court judge for 11 years, he retired in 1987. In 1994, he was asked to come back to fill in on a part-time basis. Madam Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to join me in celebrating the doors that Judge Perez opened for the Latino community by naming a post office in Santa Ana, California, after him. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 7832, to designate the facility of the U.S. Postal Service located at 396 South California Avenue in West Covina, California, as the Esteban E. Torres Post Office Building. Esteban E. Torres was born in Miami, Arizona, on January 27, 1930. His family moved to Los Angeles in 1936 where he attended the local public schools. From 1949 to 1953, Mr. Torres served in the U.S. Army, fought in the Korean war, and was honorably discharged with the rank of sergeant first class. Mr. Torres was introduced to politics through his activism in the local branch of the United Auto Workers union. He held various positions, such as chief steward, UAW organizer, UAW international representative, and the director of the Inter-American Bureau for Caribbean and Latin American Affairs. In 1974, he made his first bid for elective office representing California's 30th Congressional District but lost to incumbent George Danielson. Mr. Torres was eventually elected to the House of Representatives in 1982, where he was a member of the Committee on Banking, Finance, and Urban Affairs and the Committee on Small Business. In addition, Mr. Torres chaired the Congressional Hispanic Caucus in late 1988. During his tenure as chairman of the Banking panel's Subcommittee on Consumer Affairs and Coinage, he pushed measures to empower customers of financial institutions, authored the Truth in Savings Act, and advocated for legislation that would give consumers better access to their credit histories. In 1998, Mr. Torres announced he would retire from the House at the end of the 105th Congress. Madam Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring the life of public service of former Representative Torres by naming a post office in West Covina, California, after him, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 7988, to designate the facility of the U.S. Postal Service located at 79125 Corporate Centre Drive in La Quinta, California, as the Corporal Hunter Lopez Memorial Post Office Building.

His first 3 years were spent with the Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team, 5th Platoon before he joined the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Division, Golf Company. With the 2nd Battalion, Corporal Lopez served in Operation Allies Refuge, contributing to the largest airlift in history and aiding in the evacuation of over 120,000 of our fellow Americans, allies, and Afghans.

Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 8026, to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 825 West 65th Street in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as the ``Charles W. Lindberg Post Office.'' Charles Lindberg was born on June 26, 1920, in Grand Forks, North Dakota. He enlisted in Marine Corps shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. After completing recruit training, he volunteered for the Marine Raiders, a special unit of the Marine Corps. He was later reassigned to the newly activated 5th Marine Division at Camp Pendleton, California. After training, the division was sent to Hawaii before leaving for Iwo Jima. During the Battle of Iwo Jima, he was a member of the patrol that captured the top of Mount Suribachi where he helped raise the first U.S. flag on the island on February 23, 1945.
