Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I urge the adoption of the bill. I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 3931) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 620 Central Avenue Suite 1A in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas, as the ``Chief Petty Officer Adam Brown United States Post Office''.

Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise in support of H.R. 3931, introduced by Congressman Bruce Westerman of Arkansas. H.R. 3931 designates the post office located at 620 Central Avenue, Suite 1A, in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas, as the Chief Petty Officer Adam Brown United States Post Office. Chief Petty Officer Adam Brown was a true American hero and someone who I hope will serve as an inspiration to many. Adam went from drug addiction, theft, and prison time to a life devoted to faith, family, and country. A decorated Navy SEAL, Adam served multiple tours of duty and lost an eye and multiple fingers, but returned to duty nonetheless. One tour in Afghanistan was not just to fight for his country. He went to give away 500 pairs of shoes to Afghan children that he had collected as a personal project. Adam's legacy should live on in our hearts and minds as well as in physical remembrance. I urge Members to support this bill and name a post office after this hero, Chief Petty Officer Adam Brown. I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the fine gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Westerman).

Mr. WALKER

Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise today in support of H.R. 4987, introduced by Congressman Jeff Miller of Florida. H.R. 4987 designates the post office located at 3957 2nd Avenue in Laurel Hill, Florida, as the Sergeant First Class William ``Kelly'' Lacey Post Office. Sergeant Kelly Lacey enlisted in the Army on October 16, 2002, and he served with dedication for nearly 12 years. Sergeant Lacey was on a tour of duty in Afghanistan when he was killed in action on January 4, 2014. During his time in the Army, Sergeant Lacey earned more than 30 military awards and decorations, including a Bronze Star with Valor and two more Bronze Star Medals. Mr. Speaker, Sergeant Lacey exemplified leadership throughout his career. Just months before his death, he fulfilled one of his lifelong dreams by reaching the rank of E-7, the same rank that his father achieved in his service. I urge all Members to honor Lacey's great sacrifice by naming a post office in his honor. I will soon yield to the bill's sponsor, and my friend, Congressman Jeff Miller, to tell us more about Sergeant First Class William ``Kelly'' Lacey. I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Miller).

Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 433) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 523 East Railroad Street in Knox, Pennsylvania, as the ``Specialist Ross A. McGinnis Memorial Post Office''.

Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on the bill under consideration.

Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise today in support of H.R. 433, introduced by Congressman Glenn Thompson of Pennsylvania. H.R. 433 designates the post office located at 523 East Railroad Street, in Knox, Pennsylvania, as the Specialist Ross A. McGinnis Memorial Post Office. This bill honors a remarkably brave soldier and Medal of Honor recipient, Army Specialist Ross McGinnis. This young man's story is one of incredible sacrifice. When enemy combatants launched a grenade into the vehicle occupied by Specialist McGinnis and his fellow soldiers, Specialist McGinnis' reaction was one of inconceivable bravery. He thrust his own body on top of the grenade to save the lives of his comrades. In a moment I will ask my colleague, Congressman Thompson, the sponsor of this bill, to share more about this hero and his incredible story. In the meantime, I want to urge Members to support this bill to name a post office to honor McGinnis' life and his sacrifice. I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Thompson).

H.R. 4747 designates the post office located at 6691 Church Street, in Riverdale, Georgia, as the Major Gregory E. Barney Post Office Building. Major Greg Barney was a Riverdale police officer for 26 years before he was tragically shot and killed in the line of duty earlier this year. Major Barney was a United States Navy veteran, and we are thankful for his service to our country and to his community. I will soon yield to my colleagues to tell us more about Major Barney's life and sacrifice. For now, I urge Members to support this bill to name a post office after Major Greg Barney in honor of his valiant service. I reserve the balance of my time.
