                MARINE SGT. JEREMY E. MURRAY POST OFFICE

  (Mr. RYAN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Marine Sergeant 
Jeremy Murray.
  Today on this House floor we renamed the Post Office in Rootstown, 
Portage County, Ohio, where Jeremy grew up. He served our country 
during several tours to the Middle East, and at 28 years old he lost 
his life.
  His mother has worked at this post office for 11 years, so it was a 
special day today for us to, in a very small way here in the House of 
Representatives, say ``thank you'' to him for his service and to thank 
his parents, Pam and Harold, for raising such a great young kid who 
would be willing to go off to war because his country asked him and 
serve us in such a noble way.
  So, today I rise to say thank you to Jeremy, thank you to his 
parents, thank you to Rootstown, and thank you to Waterloo High School 
that instilled in him these values, a terrific young man whom we honor 
here today and we honor with this post office.
