   SERGEANT SHAWN T. HANNON AND MASTER SERGEANT JEFFREY J. RIECK AND 
                 VETERANS MEMORIAL POST OFFICE BUILDING

  Mr. STIVERS. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the 
bill (H.R. 4189) to designate the facility of the United States Postal 
Service located at 4000 Leap Road in Hilliard, Ohio, as the ``Sergeant 
Shawn T. Hannon and Master Sergeant Jeffrey J. Rieck and Veterans 
Memorial Post Office Building'', as amended.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The text of the bill is as follows:

                               H.R. 4189

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SECTION 1. MASTER SERGEANT SHAWN T. HANNON, MASTER SERGEANT

                   OFFICE BUILDING.

  I rise today to ask support for H.R. 4189, a bill to rename the U.S. 
post office located at 4000 Leap Road in Hilliard, Ohio, as the Master 
Sergeant Shawn T. Hannon, Master Sergeant Jeffrey T. Rieck and Veterans 
Memorial Post Office.
  Master Sergeants Hannon and Rieck were killed in Afghanistan in April 
4, 2012, while serving their country as members of the Ohio Army 
National Guard. The House recently passed a bill to rename a post 
office after a third soldier, Captain Nicholas Rozanski, who died in 
that same attack, and that post office will be in Dublin, Ohio.
  Master Sergeant Hannon was a native of Grove City, Ohio, and served 
as the chief legal counsel at the Ohio Department of Veterans Services. 
I knew him personally as both a soldier and as one of the best 
advocates for the Ohio veterans community. He is survived by his wife 
Jamie and his son Evan.
  Master Sergeant Rieck lived in Columbus and worked in the Guard's 
Family Readiness office, where he helped families prepare for 
deployment and helped loved ones deal with deployments. His son, Joel, 
was 15 when his father made the ultimate sacrifice.
  These men dedicated their lives to helping other people and died 
while protecting our freedoms. This bill will help ensure that their 
sacrifices and service are always remembered. We also included the 
Veterans Memorial Post Office on this to make sure that all veterans' 
sacrifices and service are remembered when people enter this post 
office.
  I want to thank Chairman Issa for advancing this bill, and I urge my 
colleagues to vote ``yes'' on H.R. 4189.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as 
I may consume.
  I join with my friend in asking everyone to support this measure to 
name this post office after Sergeant Shawn T. Hannon and Master 
Sergeant Jeffrey J. Rieck, and I align myself with all of the comments 
that my friend and colleague has made on behalf of these two gentlemen, 
these two heroes. I ask that everybody vote for this measure.
  On behalf of all of us, I thank the families of these two heroes for 
their service and for their sacrifice to our great country.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. STIVERS. I have no further requests for time, and I yield back 
the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Stivers) that the House suspend the rules and 
pass the bill, H.R. 4189, as amended.
  The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the 
rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed.
  The title of the bill was amended so as to read: ``A bill to 
designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 
4000 Leap Road in Hilliard, Ohio, as the `Master Sergeant Shawn T. 
Hannon, Master Sergeant Jeffrey J. Rieck and Veterans Memorial Post 
Office Building'.''.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
