I rise in proud support of H.R. 8717. Sergeant Bill Hooser, who, as I understand it, is not a Hoosier from Indiana but rather is from Utah, launched his career in law enforcement when he joined the Santaquin City Police Department in 2017.
In February 2024, this year, he was promoted to sergeant for his strong commitment to keeping communities safe.
He was tragically killed on duty on May 5 of this year. We extend our very sincere condolences to his family, his friends, and the whole community that was traumatized by his death.
This legislation would honor Sergeant Hooser's legacy by naming the post office in Santaquin after him.
Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for introducing the legislation.
