Jeremy Malone Post Office

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. EZELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of my legislation to designate the United States Postal Service facility located at 825 Highway 198 in Beaumont, Mississippi, as the Jeremy Malone Post Office.

Deputy Jeremy Malone was a dedicated law enforcement officer for over 21 years of service to the people of South Mississippi. On January 4, 2024, he was tragically killed in the line of duty during a traffic stop in George County, Mississippi.

As a former law enforcement officer myself, I know the sacrifices that come from wearing a badge. Deputy Malone understood that calling, and he lived every single day serving others, protecting the community, and putting others before himself.

Jeremy Malone was more than a deputy. He was a husband, a father, and a man deeply committed to his community. He volunteered his time to help families and children in need, and he made a lasting impact on the lives of those around him.

He is survived by his wife, Hilary, and their three daughters, and our prayers remain with them.

This designation is a small but meaningful way to ensure that his service, his sacrifice, and his legacy are never forgotten. It will stand as a daily reminder of the bravery of those who serve and the price that is sometimes paid.

Deputy Malone represented the very best of law enforcement in South Mississippi.

I urge my colleagues to support this legislation and join me in honoring the life of a true American hero.
