To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 75 Commerce Drive in Grayslake, Illinois, as the "Army Specialist Joseph 'Joey' W. Dimock II Post Office Building".

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 7899) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 75 Commerce Drive in Grayslake, Illinois, as the ``Army Specialist Joseph `Joey' W. Dimock II 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. 7899, to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 75 Commerce Drive in Grayslake, Illinois, as the ``Army Specialist Joseph `Joey' Dimock II Post Office Building.''

Army Specialist Dimock was born in Libertyville on May 25, 1989, to Joseph and Ellen Dimock. He grew up in Wildwood, Illinois, and graduated from Warren Township High School. Growing up, he was a member of the Wildwood Presbyterian Church, Boy Scout Troop 672, and the Warren Blue Devils swim team.

In the spring of his senior year of high school, Army specialist Dimock joined the Army and began service in August of 2007. He served for nearly 3 years with the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment.

On July 10, 2010, during his third overseas deployment and second deployment in Afghanistan supporting Operation Enduring Freedom, he died in a noncombat explosion at an ammunition holding facility.

Army Specialist Dimock received several awards during his service to this country, including the Bronze Star Medal and Army Commendation Medal.

I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring the life and service of

Army Specialist Dimock by naming a Post Office in Grayslake, Illinois, after him.

I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman from Pennsylvania has no further speakers, then I am prepared to close. I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I urge passage of H.R. 7899, 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. 7899, which honors Army Specialist Joseph ``Joey'' W. Dimock, II.

Joey, as he was known to his loved ones, grew up in Wildwood, Illinois, where he was actively involved with his church, swim team, and Boy Scout Troop 672, earning the rank of Eagle Scout.

He joined the Army his senior year of high school and served for nearly 3 years with the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment.

He was serving his third overseas deployment, his second deployment to Afghanistan, when he died on July 10, 2010, in a noncombat explosion at an ammunition holding facility.

For his time in service, he was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star Medal and Army Commendation Medal.

Specialist Dimock was a true American patriot that paid the ultimate price in service to a grateful Nation. I encourage my colleagues to support this bill honoring his sacrifice and service.

I reserve the balance of my time.

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