To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 301 East Congress Parkway in Crystal Lake, Illinois, as the "Ryan J. Cummings Post Office Building".

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 6917) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 301 East Congress Parkway in Crystal Lake, Illinois, as the ``Ryan J. Cummings Post Office Building''.

Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on this measure.

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

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 6917, to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 301 East Congress Parkway in Crystal Lake, Illinois, as the Ryan J. Cummings Post Office Building.

Marine Corporal Ryan John Cummings was born on April 6, 1984, and grew up to be a Cub Scout, honor student, wrestler, and a French horn player.

On September 10, 2001, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and completed basic training in San Diego. He was then stationed at Camp Pendleton, California, in 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Division, ultimately earning the rank of corporal.

Corporal Cummings earned many awards, including the Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, the Global War on Terror Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Humanitarian Service Medal, the Iraq Campaign Medal, and the Purple Heart, among others.

He was deployed three times in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. He made the ultimate sacrifice on June 3, 2006, when he was killed.

Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring the life and service of Corporal Cummings by naming a post office in Crystal Lake, Illinois, after him, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I urge passage of H.R. 6917, and I yield back the balance of my time.

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

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 6917, which would name a post office in Crystal Lake, Illinois, for Marine Corporal Ryan J. Cummings.

Corporal Cummings was born in Cook County, Illinois, in 1984. Marine Corporal Cummings was set on becoming a marine and, according to his family, signed up for duty on September 10, 2001, the night before the September 11 attacks on our Nation.

He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Division Expeditionary Force based at Camp Pendleton. Sadly, he died from wounds sustained while conducting combat operations in Iraq on his third deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. He was only 22 years old.

Corporal Cummings was posthumously awarded a Purple Heart in recognition of having made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our grateful Nation.

Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to support this bill honoring Marine Corporal Ryan J. Cummings, a true American war hero.

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

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs be discharged and the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of the following bills en bloc: S. 4411, H.R. 203--and the rest of them are all H.R.s--H.R. 2472,

I ask unanimous consent that the bills 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.
