FIREFIGHTER TREVOR BROWN POST OFFICE BUILDING

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 65 (Tuesday, April 14, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 65 (Tuesday, April 14, 2026)] [House] [Page H2851] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] FIREFIGHTER TREVOR BROWN POST OFFICE BUILDING Mr. GILL of Texas. Madam Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 5058) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 46164 Westlake Drive in Sterling, Virginia, as the ``Firefighter Trevor Brown Post Office Building''. The Clerk read the title of the bill. The text of the bill is as follows: H.R. 5058 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. FIREFIGHTER TREVOR BROWN POST OFFICE BUILDING. (a) Designation.--The facility of the United States Postal Service located at 46164 Westlake Drive in Sterling, Virginia, shall be known and designated as the ``Firefighter Trevor Brown Post Office Building''. (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 ``Firefighter Trevor Brown Post Office Building''. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Gill) and the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Subramanyam) each will control 20 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas. General Leave Mr. GILL of Texas. 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 measure. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Texas? There was no objection. Mr. GILL of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of this bill, which would rename a post office in Sterling, Virginia, for Trevor Brown. Trevor lost his life in the line of duty as a firefighter with the Sterling Volunteer Fire Company on February 16, 2024. Trevor was deeply committed to serving others. Trevor's deep sense of responsibility to his community was reflected in everything he did from volunteer firefighter to a dedicated youth soccer and baseball coach. He is survived by his wife and their three young children. His community will never forget his heroism. Madam Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to support this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 5058, to designate the facility of the U.S. Post Office located at 46164 Westlake Drive in Sterling, Virginia, as the Firefighter Trevor Brown Post Office Building. I introduced this legislation to honor the life of Firefighter Trevor Brown, a volunteer firefighter at Sterling Volunteer Fire Company who lost his life in the line of duty while responding to an emergency gas leak call in 2024. This was an incident that shook our community in Loudoun County because Firefighter Brown was beloved in our community and left a lasting impact on all who knew him. He was a great husband, a father of three, and he coached youth soccer and baseball. The kids absolutely loved him. Whether it was teaching kids about teamwork or volunteering for late-night shifts at the firehouse, Firefighter Brown always found a way to give back to the community. It is my hope that renaming this post office to honor Firefighter Brown will keep his memory alive, inspire others, and remind us of his incredible courage, honor and sacrifice, and the sacrifice of all of our first responders. I thank Firefighter Brown's family and all of his friends who rallied around his family after his tragic death. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. GILL of Texas. Madam Speaker, I encourage my House colleagues to support this bill naming a post office for Trevor Brown, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Gill) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 5058. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
