Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 7199) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at S74w16860 Janesville Road, in Muskego, Wisconsin, as the ``Colonel Hans Christian Heg Post Office''.

The Clerk read the title of the bill.

The text of the bill is as follows: H.R. 7199

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. COLONEL HANS CHRISTIAN HEG POST OFFICE.

Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I have no further speakers, and I yield myself the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I would just like to make a little statement as well here to kind of follow up on what Mr. Steil said.

For those of us who are familiar with the Wisconsin State Capitol, the statue of Christian Heg is an institution in the State of Wisconsin.

It was horrific, and it shows the ignorance of the hard left in this country when, about 4 years ago, there was a riot, and they tore down the statue of Christian Heg. Hopefully, this will serve to bring even more fame to his great deeds and fame to the great Americans who fought during the Civil War.

In any event, I am very pleased that Congressman Fitzgerald has decided to bring forth this bill.

Mr. Speaker, I encourage my House colleagues to support this bill honoring a true American war hero, and I yield back the balance of my time.
