Pamela Jane Rock Post Office Building

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. RASKIN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

I rise in support of H.R. 3947, a bill designating the facility of the U.S. Postal Service located at 859 North State Road 21 in Melrose, Florida, as the Pamela Jane Rock Post Office Building.

After graduating from the University of Florida, Pam started a long career with the WIC program and dietary education.

She worked with women and families from across the United States-- from Florida, Yellowstone, North Carolina, to Georgia--and even with the Peace Corps in Guatemala to advance critical nutritional goals for infants and children.

Following her long-term service with the WIC program, she transitioned into a new role of public service with the U.S. Postal Service in January 2022 as a letter carrier.

On August 22, 2022, she was unexpectedly and severely injured while delivering the mail and sadly passed away in Florida as a consequence of her injuries.

I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring the life and the hard work of Ms. Rock by naming a post office in Melrose after her.

Mr. RASKIN. Madam Speaker, I have no further speakers, and I yield back the balance of my time.
