To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 825 West 65th Street in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as the "Charles W. Lindberg Post Office".

Madam Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 8026) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 825 West 65th Street in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as the ``Charles W. Lindberg Post Office''.

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

Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 8026, to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 825 West 65th Street in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as the ``Charles W. Lindberg Post Office.''

Charles Lindberg was born on June 26, 1920, in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

He enlisted in Marine Corps shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. After completing recruit training, he volunteered for the Marine Raiders, a special unit of the Marine Corps.

He was later reassigned to the newly activated 5th Marine Division at Camp Pendleton, California. After training, the division was sent to Hawaii before leaving for Iwo Jima.

During the Battle of Iwo Jima, he was a member of the patrol that captured the top of Mount Suribachi where he helped raise the first U.S. flag on the island on February 23, 1945.

Mr. Lindberg was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps in January of 1946. His military awards include the Silver Star, the Purple Heart, and the Combat Action Ribbon.

I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring Mr. Lindberg by naming a Post Office in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after him.

Madam Speaker, I urge passage of H.R. 8026.

Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Minnesota (Ms. Omar), the distinguished vice chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee's Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, and Global Human Rights.

Madam Speaker, I urge passage of H.R. 8026, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Madam Speaker, I rise today to support my bill, H.R. 8026, which designates a USPS facility in Minneapolis as the Charles W. Lindberg Post Office.

I am proud to have the opportunity to honor Charles ``Chuck'' W. Lindberg, not to be confused with the aviator Chuck Lindbergh. He was a highly decorated U.S. Marine Corps corporal who received the Silver Star medal, Purple Heart medal, and Combat Action Ribbon, and one of the two U.S. Marines who raised the original American flag over Iwo Jima during World War II.

Mr. Lindberg lived in the city of Richfield in my district for 50 years and was laid to rest at the Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis.

Mr. Lindberg spent decades explaining that it was his patrol, not the one in the famous Associated Press photograph, that raised the first flag on the morning of February 23, 1945. He shared that his commander ordered the first flag replaced and safeguarded because he was worried someone would take it as a souvenir. It was hours later, while Mr. Lindberg was in combat, that six men raised the second flag, a larger flag.

The photo of the second flag-raising became one of the most famous images of the war and the model for the Marine Corps' War Memorial in Washington, D.C.

After the war, Mr. Lindberg returned to Minnesota, where he spent 40 years as an electrician. He was a proud union member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, IBEW Local 292, and had a JATC Electrical Training Center named in honor of him just weeks before he passed away.

Mr. Lindberg spent his final years raising awareness of the first flag raising and speaking to veteran groups and at schools.

Madam Speaker, I invite my colleagues to join me in thanking Chuck W. Lindberg for his bravery and service to our country. I urge everyone to join me in honoring his life by passing this bipartisan bill.

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

Madam Speaker, I rise today to support H.R. 8026, which honors Charles W. Lindberg, a highly decorated Marine Corps corporal who fought in World War II and raised the first American flag over Iwo Jima.

Most people are unaware that there were actually two American flags raised at Iwo Jima. The famous Associated Press photo that we are all familiar with, the picture that is depicted at the Marine Corps War Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery, was actually the second flag raised.

Corporal Lindberg raised the first flag alongside five other marines on the morning of February 23, 1945, after fighting their way up Mount Suribachi.

Corporal Lindberg spent decades explaining that his patrol, not the patrol shown in the famous Associated Press photo, raised the American flag over the island.

After World War II, Corporal Lindberg was awarded a Purple Heart.

Madam Speaker, I have no further speakers, and I encourage my colleagues to support this bill honoring an American war hero. I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of the following bills en bloc: Calendar No. 473, H.R. 5271; Calendar No. 475, H.R. 5900; Calendar No. 476, H.R. 6386; Calendar No. 516, H.R. 5659; Calendar No. 517, H.R. 1095; and H.R. 5349, H.R. 5650, H.R. 5865, H.R. 5952, H.R. 6042, H.R. 6218, H.R. 6220, H.R. 6221, H.R. 6630, H.R. 7519, H.R. 7638, H.R. 8226, H.R. 8026, and H.R. 7514, all of which were received from the House.

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.
