To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1233 North Cedar Street in Owasso, Oklahoma, as the "Technical Sergeant Marshal Roberts Post Office Building".

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 1298) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1233 North Cedar Street in Owasso, Oklahoma, as the ``Staff Sergeant Marshal Roberts Post Office Building''.

Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks.

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

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 1298 to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1233 North Cedar Street in Owasso, Oklahoma, as the Technical Sergeant Marshal Roberts Post Office.

At the age of 28, Technical Sergeant Marshal D. Roberts deployed with the 219th Engineering Installation Squadron, 138th Fighter Wing, Oklahoma Air National Guard in support of Operation Inherent Resolve.

He died as a result of a rocket attack from an Iran-backed militia group at Camp Taji on March 11, 2020. Technical Sergeant Roberts was the first member in the history of the Oklahoma Air National Guard to be killed in combat.

Technical Sergeant Roberts gave the ultimate sacrifice for this country, and his service will never be forgotten. He is survived by his wife and fellow member of the Tulsa-based 138th Fighter Wing, Kristie Roberts, and their 8-year-old daughter, Paityn.

Mr. Speaker, I encourage all of my colleagues to join me in honoring Technical Sergeant Marshal D. Roberts by naming the post office at 1233 North Cedar Street as the Technical Sergeant Marshal Roberts Post Office.

Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, may the memory of Technical Sergeant Marshal D. Roberts be for a blessing.

I urge all Members to support H.R. 1298. I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in solemn memory of an Oklahoma hero, Technical Sergeant Marshal Roberts.

Sergeant Roberts had a strong love for his country and was intensely proud to serve in the Oklahoma Air National Guard. He was deployed to Camp Taji in Iraq in support of Operation Inherent Resolve when his unit was engaged in enemy fire.

Sergeant Roberts gave his life defending our Nation and the freedoms we enjoy every day, leaving behind a proud wife and a loving daughter. Since his death, Oklahomans have shown overwhelming support for Sergeant Roberts' family and have taken every opportunity to celebrate his memory.

I will never forget when his remains were brought back to Tulsa in March 2020, when the city had just begun lockdown. Still, there were hundreds and hundreds of Oklahomans waiting outside the airport to welcome him home and mourn with his family.

At his funeral, at the dedication for the highway named after him, at our Memorial Day service, and at countless events since his death, Oklahomans have shown up in massive numbers to support and to honor his service and to thank his family.

You see, Oklahomans recognize the importance of military service and the

sacred responsibility we all have to keep his legacy alive.

We can rest in the knowledge that Sergeant Roberts' sacrifice was not in vain. He laid down his life for hundreds of millions of Americans that he never knew and future generations yet to come.

Mr. Speaker, renaming the Owasso Post Office in his honor is a small but meaningful gesture and ensures that our community proudly keeps his story alive for all the generations to come.

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

I stand today in support of H.R. 1298, which would name a post office after Technical Sergeant Marshal Roberts.

Sergeant Roberts was from Oklahoma and enlisted in the Air Force in May 2014. He was assigned to the 219th Engineering Installation Squadron of the Oklahoma Air National Guard's 138th Fighter Wing. Sadly, he was killed in a rocket attack on Camp Taji in Iraq.

Mr. Speaker, I strongly support this bill honoring an American hero, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Hern).

Mr. Speaker, I have no further speakers. I am prepared to close.

Mr. Speaker, I support this bill. I yield back the balance of my time.

As if in legislative session, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of the following bills, en bloc: Calendar No. 185, H.R. 767; Calendar No. 186, H.R. 1170; Calendar No. 187, H.R. 1444, Calendar No. 189, S. 2932; Calendar No. 325, S. 3825; Calendar No.

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the bills en bloc be considered read a third time and passed, and that the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table, all en bloc.
