Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 7519, to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 2050 South Boulevard in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, as the ``Dr. Ezra S. Parke Post Office Building.'' Dr. Ezra S. Parke was an early resident of Bloomfield Township in 1822. He quickly became deeply involved in the community, becoming Bloomfield's first postmaster from 1824 to 1836. In this role, he introduced the services of the U.S. Postal Service to the growing community of Bloomfield Township. While working as postmaster, Dr. Parke also became Bloomfield Township's first clerk and served from 1827 to 1844. I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring Dr. Parke by naming a post office in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, after him. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Levin), vice chair of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs' Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific, Central Asia, and Nonproliferation.

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. 8226 to designate the facility of the U.S. Postal Service located at 236 Concord Exchange North in South St. Paul, Minnesota, as the Officer Leo Pavlak Post Office Building. On August 30, 1933, Officer Pavlak and two messengers for Stockyards National Bank went into the South St. Paul railroad station to pick up the payroll for Swift & Company employees. After picking up the money, they returned to the post office, where they put the envelopes of money into bags to be delivered to Swift & Company. Officer Pavlak was then killed in a robbery, along with the two messengers. He was only 38 years old and had been with the department since April. Madam Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring Officer Pavlak by naming a post office in South St. Paul, Minnesota, after him, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 7082, to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 2200 North George Mason Drive in Arlington, Virginia, as the ``Jesus Antonio Collazos Post Office Building.'' Mr. Collazos was born on April 3, 1952, in Cali, Colombia. Despite the adversity he faced, he became the first in his family to graduate from high school. After high school his mother and sisters decided to immigrate to the United States, but he elected to stay in Colombia and pursue a degree in accounting. In 1978, Mr. Collazos decided to follow his family to Washington D.C., in hopes of making the ``American Dream'' his reality. He worked a job in maintenance where he suffered a horrible accident. After his accident, he got an accounting position at the Channel Inn and later the Sheraton Hotel. Motivated by his own struggles, he helped countless immigrants find work and housing during this time. He eventually grew unhappy with accounting and pursued a career at the U.S. Postal Service, where he made countless connections with the clients on his route. Unfortunately, at the start of the pandemic, he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer and COVID-19. He passed away on June 26, 2020.

At age 21, he helped to raise three companies of men to become part of the newly created 63rd Pennsylvania Volunteers. He was elected captain of Company E but declined the honor and rank to initially serve as the third sergeant. In 1862, Mr. Williams was promoted to second lieutenant on the field during the Second Battle of Bull Run. He fought in over a dozen battles and was wounded four times. During the Battle of the Wilderness, he was struck in the left temple and was found barely alive 4 days later on the battlefield. He was then mustered out with the rest of his regiment on August 6, 1864. After his return home, he was unable to work due to his wounds. He entered Duff's Business College in Pittsburgh to become a bookkeeper and also read law at home. Mr. Williams went on to serve one term in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and 4 years in the Pennsylvania State Senate.
