[Pages H6208-H6209] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] SPECIALIST TREVOR A. WIN'E POST OFFICE Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 4946) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1075 North Tustin Street in Orange, California, as the ``Specialist Trevor A. Win'E Post Office''. The Clerk read the title of the bill. The text of the bill is as follows: H.R. 4946 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SPECIALIST TREVOR A. WIN'E POST OFFICE. (a) Designation.--The facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1075 North Tustin Street in Orange, California, shall be known and designated as the ``Specialist Trevor A. Win'E Post Office''. (b) References.--Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the United States to the facility referred to in subsection (a) shall be deemed to be a reference to the ``Specialist Trevor A. Win'E Post Office''. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Walker) and the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Sarbanes) each will control 20 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from North Carolina. General Leave Mr. WALKER. Mr. 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 the bill under consideration. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from North Carolina? There was no objection. Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may conclude. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4946, a bill to name the post office at 1075 North Tustin Street in Orange, California, in honor of U.S. Army Specialist Trevor Win'E. Trevor Win'E was born in 1981, in Orange, California. Specialist Win'E enlisted in the Army shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks to train as a petroleum supply specialist. In 2003, he was set to deploy to South Korea but requested to, instead, deploy with his unit to Iraq, a request the Army granted. One year later, he was killed when his convoy encountered an IED attack in Tikrit, Iraq, causing fatal injuries. Today, we honor Specialist Trevor Win'E's bravery and sacrifice for our Nation with a small but lasting symbol of our gratefulness and respect. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. SARBANES. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to join my colleagues in consideration of H.R. 4946, to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1075 North Tustin Street in Orange, California, as the Specialist Trevor A. Win'E Post Office. Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from California (Mr. Correa) to tell us more about Trevor Anthony Win'E. Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to rise today in support of H.R. 4946. Freedom is not free. All gave some, and many made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and for our freedom. Army Specialist Trevor Anthony Win'E, one of my constituents, made the ultimate sacrifice. I am privileged today to introduce this bill to name the United States Post Office at 1075 North Tustin Street in Orange, California, after Army Specialist Trevor Anthony Win'E. Trevor was born on September 24, 1981, the youngest of three children, to Rick and Deborah Win'E. He attended Calvary Chapel High School in Santa Ana, my hometown, graduating in the year 2000. His family and close friends recall Trevor as a compassionate and devout young man, always willing to help, always willing to lend a hand. Trevor was indeed a man of strong convictions who wanted to serve our country. Just months after the 9/11 attacks on our country, Trevor enlisted in the U.S. Army on May 1, 2002. After basic training, he was trained as a petroleum supply specialist. He was assigned to the Army's 24th Quartermaster Supply Company at Fort Lewis, Washington, where he had a key role in multiple training operations. According to Lieutenant Colonel John Pratt, commander of the 24th Quartermaster Supply Company, Trevor was dedicated to his fellow soldiers. In November 2003, Trevor's company was scheduled to deploy to Iraq, but Trevor was assigned to move to South Korea instead. He, of course, requested he deploy and serve alongside his fellow servicemembers in Iraq. Trevor was granted his request and continued to serve with his company, with his coworkers in Iraq. In Tikrit, Iraq, Trevor was in the lead truck of a convoy, serving as a turret gunner. Unfortunately, the convoy was attacked by multiple improvised explosive devices and Trevor suffered severe injuries. The following day, on May 1, 2004, 2 years to the date of his enlistment, Trevor died. He was 22 years young. Trevor was proud of his military service and wanted to serve in a capacity critical to the operations of a fighting force. He answered the call of duty after our Nation was attacked. Naming the post office after Trevor is a fitting tribute to his service and sacrifice to our great country. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 4946. Mr. SARBANES. Mr. Speaker, actually, I have no further speakers. I want to thank the gentleman for his powerful words about a life well and honorably lived. Mr. Speaker, I urge passage of H.R. 4946, and I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Walker) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 4946. The question was taken. The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds being in the affirmative, the ayes have it. Mr. WALKER. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this motion will be postponed. [[Page H6209]] ____________________
